The monks Lobsang Ngodup and Soepa, joined by two laypersons, whose identities are unknown, staged a peaceful protest in front of the Jokhang Temple on Barkhor street shouting pro-independence slogans, distributing pamphlets and raising the banned Tibetan national flags.

Lobsang was among the 15 monks detained by Chinese security forces on 10 March 2008 in Lhasa. The monks were detained by the Public Security Bureau (PSB) officials, beaten severely and manhandled. Belongs to Wonpo Monastery
