of his protest by soldiers and police, first to the county hospital and
later to Barkham (Ngaba pref. capital). As of the night of the 8th he was

was a monk, he used to enjoy looking after pigeons. He is a kind person, and
was a hard and persistent worker. He was a Kirti monk when he was younger,
but left the monastery in 2010 and since then has been living at home. His
halfbrother Rabten came into exile and is presently studying at Kirti
monastery in exile.
