Lhamo, a 36-year-old Tibetan woman died in Chinese police custody in August, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW). Lhamo was held along with her cousin, Tenzin Tarpa, 39, for having sent money to Tibetans living in India. Days before her death Lhamo’s family members reported seeing her in a badly bruised state and found her unable to speak. HRW claim it is likely Lhamo was tortured by prison authorities.
