Kirti Monks Sentenced

November 10, 2014;

Two Tibetan monks from Ngaba Kirti Monastery have been sentenced to up to three years in prison for staging solo protests. The Barkham County People’s Intermediate Court charged Lobsang Gyatso, 20, and Lobsang Tenpa, 19, with “‘separatist activities” and “plotting against the nation”. The two monks used self-drawn Tibetan national flags and shouted slogans against the Chinese government in the streets of Ngaba on April 15 and 26 this year.
