- Description of event
Ludup, known by the lay name Rinchen Goedoe, was enrolled at Kirti Monastery at a very young age and hailed from a Samsang family in village number four of Meruma township in Ngaba (Chinese: Aba), Sichuan Province.
In June 2020, Lundup, who was 54 years old, was arbitrarily arrested in Ngaba (Chinese: Aba) County in Ngaba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, 12 years after he carried out a protest in front of Kirti Monastery in Ngaba County on 16 March 2008. The authorities neither informed his family where and which court oversaw his trial, nor gave any notice about what he was charged with. "Ludup spent the years 2008 to 2020 hiding from the police, who resorted to publishing a public notice calling on the people of Meruma township in Ngaba County to inform them about Ludup and a few other Kirti monks. The notice described them as having participated in an “illegal protest movement.”
Following his arrest and trial, he served his sentence in Deyang (德阳) Prison, located in Huang Xu Town in Deyang City, Sichuan Province." (to be reviewed) Belongs to Kirti Monastery
