The background of the story, please click herehttp://www.rfa.org/english/news/tibet/kidnapping-02102010152136.html?searchterm=None
 After massive searches,  Passang was finally arrested at a place called Satoe   Nunnery in Kham Nyarong in wee hours a week ago. The Kandze police and Kandze Prefecture police forced mobilized 100 personel for this search mission.
After his arrest, he was beaten so badly, and his tongue were pierced by a wire. A dozen of the police vehicles escorted him to Kandze county. 

What still intriguing is the disappearance of the prison guard, who was initially believed to be kidnapped by Passang during prision break. Despite passang's arrest, the prison guard's whereabout still unknown. Nyarong police got wind of  a body was lying at a river in Nyarong and Nyarong  police wee  invistigated the corpse to assertain its identity.
Chinese charged Passang on theft of several Tibetan monasteires and also four case of homicides. At his arrest, he was badly beaten, that resulted his death subsequently . The dead body was taking to .
 Kanzde people's hospital for a post mortom, and his body was dissected. Tibetans who are aware of the corpse said that even without looking inside the cause of death, it could be revealed by looking from outside the body.
.
Because his entire body has traces of bruises and scar . He had passed away one day after the Nyarong county police handed him to Kandze police.But without a thorough inquery and interrogation of the victem, the subject is conterversial and  debetable. It is said that high level police officers now investigating the prisoner's death.

Passang's  death resulting from beaten is deemed as a crime  The reason is that his break from the highly guarded prison is a questionble. without the involvement of prison officials and police, the escape would not be possible..  Those who had a hand in his escape, might have deliberately hatched the plot for his death without proper inquery. The death without due precess and investiage is a big problem now. and even the family of the killed prisoner,. No matter what heinous crime he has committed, but without proper legal precedure, this arbitrary beaten to death, may warrant high up invisgation and the family discuss to take this issue up to the authories.
