A group of UN experts have jointly questioned China about the cases of disappeared Tibetan Buddhist Scholar Go Sherab Gyatso and arbitrarily detained Rinchen Tsultrim, both Tibetan monks from Ngaba in Amdo, Eastern Tibet.

While expressing serious concern over the enforced disappearance of Go Sherab Gyatso and arbitrary detention of Rinchen Tsultrim, the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances; Working Group on Arbitrary Detention; Special Rapporteur on minority issues; and Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, have jointly called China to provide information about the whereabouts of Go Sherab Gyatso “urgently”, and asked legal grounds for the arrest, detention, and sentencing of Rinchen Tsultrim, in the communication transmitted to China.
