 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 July 27, 2009. Tashi Rabten was reportedly under surveillance for some time while studying at the Northwestern Minorities University in Lanzhou, and there are fears that he may have been detained for his recent 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. He is reportedly being held incommunicado at a detention center in Ngaba. |
