    Tibetans protesting against the Chinese government's alleged repression in Kardze of eastern Tibet's Kham Province have been detained, an official of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) claimed here today.


    "Nine Tibetans, a monk of Dhargyal Monastery, four nuns, two women, and two youths staged protests on Saga Dawa, a major Buddhist festival observed on June 15," he said.


    While their names and other details were not known, the monk was detained and taken away by Chinese security forces, he said.


    "The movements of local people are restricted, and armed police are everywhere," he said.

    Meanwhile, a local Tibetan claimed Chinese police had blocked Kardze's downtown area from two sides.
