 Tibetan writer from Dzoege (Ch: Ruo’ergai) county in Ngaba, Sichuan Province, and editor of the banned literary magazine Shar Dungri (Eastern Snow Mountain), arrested April 6, 2010, after approximately 16 security personnel raided students’ rooms at the Northwestern Minorities University in Lanzhou, where Tashi Rabten is a student. He was briefly held in July 2009, possibly for his book, a collection of political articles focusing on democracy, freedom, and equality entitled Written in Blood, as well as his participation in the publication of Shar Dungri, which dealt with the suppression of the 2008 protests throughout Tibet. PEN has received reports that Tashi Rabten is being held in a detention center in Barkham county, Ngaba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Any charges against him are still unknown. |
