If the woman had anything to do with the riots (and connections with the exiled Dalai Lama government), then she definitely should be detained and questioned by the authorities. This is not barbaric, it's equivalent to the US Patriot Act.

Lim says "she must face the appropriate music. Nothing wrong with that"; but no open society should condone kidnapping people by state sanction regardless of suspicions against them? This is barbaric, and the ways of a totalarian society.

Jane Macartney in Beijing says:
"A Tibetan singer well known as a feminist activist has been taken by Chinese authorities and her family has received no word of her fate."

Jamyang Kyi was detained on April 1, friends said. The US government-supporting Radio Free Asia quoted unidentified sources

"Laomao Jia, who also works at Qinghai Television, said that he did not know who had taken his wife into custody"

Ms. Jane (China's most hated woman), can you please explain why you are hitting below the belt? Your opening line is the singer was taken by Chinese authorities when you had nothing concrete and your source of information were from what friends said,& unidentified sources. Furthermore, the husband did not know who had taken his wife into custody"

Anyway If Ms.Kyi was involved with anti-China protests and had connections with the violent unrest, yes, she must face the appropriate music. Nothing wrong with that.
