14 April 2008: Sangchu (Ch: Xiahe) County, Kanlho “Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,” Gansu province – Around 200 monks arrested at monastery
Between 14 April evening and 15 April morning, over 200 monks were arrested from Ladrang Tashi-Kyil monastery during the search conducted by the security and the armed forces.
On 15 March morning, a huge group of monks from Ladrang Tashi-Kyil monastery (those that were not arrested) demanded that the 200 monks arrested from their monastery be released or the Chinese authorities would face a protest by the monks.
All but three of the monks were released. It seems that the three monks, who continue to be detained, are being held for their alleged involvement during the protest held in front of foreign journalists on 9 April.
