Tibetan Writer’s Trial Postponed

The trial of a Tibetan writer who has criticized Chinese policies in Tibet in a recent book may be postponed, according to the International Campaign for Tibet, an advocacy group. The group said in a statement on Thursday that it was unclear whether a postponement of the trial for the writer, whose name is Tragyal, would suggest that the authorities were questioning the premise of the trial or whether they were looking for more evidence. Mr. Tragyal was detained in April in Xining, after the publication of his book, “The Line between Sky and Earth.”
