According to the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), an NGO based here. Six were released later on bail.

The Video “Chakdrum Marpo” (Bloody Omen) contained songs expressing, among others, loyalty to the exile Tibetan leader Dalai Lama and “helplessness” over the death of Tibetans following large scale protests across Tibet. The Video also incorporated many images and footage of Chinese clampdown.
