- Description of event
Jamyang Jinpa was one of “hundreds” of Labrang Tashikhyil monks who led protest demonstrations joined by a large number of ordinary Tibetans. Protestors marched toward county government offices and shouted slogans calling for Tibetan independence and the Dalai Lama’s long life until security forces “fired tear gas and live ammunition into the air to disperse the demonstrators” (TCHRD). Jamyang Jinpa was among the protesting monks detained at that time. Details on the 2008 detention ; including his release date ; were not reported. Belongs to Labrang Tashikyil Monastery
