According to local reports, Tagyal, 45, was taken from his office by police to a Xining Prefecture police station, where he is still reportedly detained. His house was subsequently ransacked and his wife, Lhaso, interrogated.
According to Radio Free Asia, a bookstore owned by Lhaso was also searched by police on April 12, when they seized several copies of a Tibetan-language book written by Tagyal, as well as two computers and other personal documents.
The police then reportedly questioned Lhaso about the book and ordered her to close down the business.
