- Description of event
On July 5 ; 2011 ; local Public security bureau officials arrived at Dargye Monastery. The police allegedly “interrogated” some of the monks ; focusing especially on monks who previously had studied for a time at Tibetan Buddhist monasteries located in India and then returned to Dargye Monastery. As a result of the interrogation ; police detained Dargye monks Lobsang Choejor (age 35) and Jampa Wangchug (46) and took them to the Ganzi County PSB Detention Center. Both monks had gone to India sometime in the 1990s and spent approximately nine years studying at a prominent monastery that Tibetans reestablished in India after 1959 ; when many Tibetans ; including the Dalai Lama ; fled into exile. Belongs to Dargye Monastery
