Ngawang Tsomo, 51, a Tibetan nun and former political prisoner who was jailed for protesting against Chinese rule in Tibet, has died in Phenpo Lhundrub in the Lhasa prefecture. She is reported as having been in poor health since her time in prison, where she was tortured, and recently her condition deteriorated. She was arrested in 1993 and given a seven year sentence following a “sham” trial.
