News at Eleven: Tibetan bloggers have reported the disappearance

of a young Tibetan writer and university student, Tashi Rabten (pen-name Te'urang), the editor of a banned literary magazine on the 2008 protests in Tibet and author of a new collection of work called "Written in Blood". Tashi Rabten has not been seen by friends since July 26, the beginning of the summer holiday at the Northwest Minorities University in Lanzhou where he is a student. There are fears for his safety because his recent book is being dealt with as a "political matter" according to one Tibetan source, and he has been under surveillance for some time.
