Prisoner Dies

December 8, 2014;

Tenzin Choedak, 33, also known as Tenchoe, has died two days after being released from prison in an extremely weak condition. He had served six years of his 15-year sentence, accused of leading protests in the 2008 uprising, and had been beaten and tortured in prison. “His death confirms…that torture and inhumane treatment is common in Chinese prisons in Tibet,” commented the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy.
