A Tibetan writer who had signed an open letter critical of the Chinese government's quake relief efforts in western Qinghui province has been detained by police, according to a family friend.
The writer, who publishes under the name Zhogs Dung but whose real name is Tagyal, was among eight authors and intellectuals who signed a letter dated April 17 that expressed sorrow for the disaster that left more than 2,000 people dead most of them Tibetan but also urged wariness of Chinese government relief efforts.
