Parole not Jail

April 11, 2016;

Four Tibetans have been sentenced for their attempt to reclaim land which had been seized last year by local authorities in western China’s Sichuan province. Rinchen Dorje, Kurde Yeshe and Phurko received two-year jail terms, Jigji Kyab three-years. Radio Free Asia reports that all four have agreed to an unusual deal that enables them to serve their entire sentences on parole rather than in jail, if they serve an additional six months.
