China arrests Tibetan writer
A leading Tibetan writer who worked for a Chinese state publishing house has been taken into custody after criticising the government's response to this month's deadly earthquake.
Tagyal, who goes by the pen name Zhogs Dung, was arrested at his workplace in the north-western city of Xining on Friday last week, numerous websites devoted to Tibetan culture said.
Police removed computers from his home the following day and showed the arrest warrant to his wife, they said.
