Death Sentence

August 18, 2013;

Dolma Kyab, 32, has been sentenced to death for allegedly killing his wife, Kunchok Wangmo, 31, on March 11 this year. The Chinese court ruled that he strangled his wife. However in March it was reported that Kunchok Wangmo self-immolated and Dolma Kyab was arrested after refusing to comply with orders to declare internal family feuds as the reason for his wife’s self-immolation. Kyab is the first Tibetan to be sentenced to death in connection with self-immolation protests.
