Tulku Hungkar Dorje, the respected and beloved Abbot of Lung Ngon Monastery in Gade County, Tibet, has died under suspicious circumstances in Vietnam.
He was in hiding in Vietnam after fleeing Tibet following a crackdown on Tibetan Buddhism in his local area, which resulted in his brutal interrogation.
He was arrested from his hotel in Ho Chi Minh City on 25th March. On 3rd April his death was announced publicly by his monastery.
There needs to be an independent investigation to uncover what happened to Tulku Hungkar Dorje.
