A young Tibetan Buddhist monk has reportedly died in custody under suspicious circumstances, with rights groups alleging possible torture and accusing Chinese authorities of enforcing secrecy around the case.
Samten, a 25-year-old monk, had reportedly been under continuous police surveillance since 2021. His body was returned in December to Ditsa Geden Tashi Choeding Ling Monastery by officials from Shongshan Tibetan Township.
