Nine Tibetans were sentenced to varying prison terms in the Driru region of Nagchu on Nov 30. Only three have been identified: Kunchok Choephel, 28, of Ngayang village has been sentenced to 6 years’ imprisonment; and Tenzin Rangdol, 34, and Topden, aka Do Ghang Gah, 30, each to five years. The identities of six others sentenced are not immediately known due to extreme government censorship and surveillance in Nagchu.
