The Chinese court in eastern Tibet has passed down more heavy prison terms of up to 15 years to three Tibetans for their “crimes” relating to the ongoing wave of self-immolations in Tibet. The court sentenced Lhamo Dorjee to 15 years in prison, Kalsang Sonam to 11 years, and Tsesang Kyab to 10 years on charges of “intentional homicide.” An official Chinese newspaper in the Kanlho region reported that a court in Luchu carried out the rulings on Thursday.
