Three Tibetan monks from the Wonpo Monastery have been sentenced in Shershul County, Kardze in eastern Tibet. Choedar, Sonam Gonpo and Sonam Choedar were arrested last year for their alleged connection with a Tibetan flag-raising incident, and have since been kept incommunicado. They were sentenced earlier this month; Choedar, 47, to one year and the other two monks, both 22, to four years each.
