Chinese authorities in a Tibetan region of northwest Gansu Province arrested a monk on January 8; his whereabouts have been unclear since then. Local residents speculated that the arrest of Jamyang Gyatso could be because he helped them receive a Radio Free Asia broadcast in Tibetan, or that he made copies of a book writer by the Tibetan poet Hortsang Jigme, who lives in the United States.
