A young Tibetan monk was taken into custody on Friday in western China’s Sichuan province after launching a solitary protest challenging Beijing’s rule in Tibetan areas and calling for the return of exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, according to sources.

Lobsang Trinle, a 21-year-old monk belonging to the restive Kirti monastery in Ngaba (in Chinese, Aba) county in the Ngaba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, staged his protest on “Heroes’ Street” in the county center at about 4:40 p.m. local time, sources told RFA’s Tibetan Service.

“Trinle … staged a peaceful protest against the Chinese government,” one local source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“He was carrying a big portrait of [exiled Tibetan spiritual leader] the Dalai Lama in his hands and shouting slogans calling for long life for the Dalai Lama and freedom for Tibet.” According to the source Trinle was taken into custody by authorities after protesting for several minutes.
