Prisoner Death

March 22, 2014;

A Tibetan who was “brutally tortured” and suffered other abuses in jail for challenging Chinese rule has died following his release from custody, a rights group and sources close to the former political prisoner said.
Goshul Lobsang, 43, who had been beaten so severely that he could not even swallow his food, died on March 19 at his family home in Machu (in Chinese, Maqu) county in the northwestern China’s Gansu province. Sources say “His condition never improved after he was released.”
