Tibetan Detention

March 15, 2014;

Chinese authorities in Tibet’s Sog County have held a Tibetan man in detention for over a year without trial. According to Ngawang Tharpa, a Tibetan living in exile, Gawa Sangpo was arrested in January 2013 for allegedly writing an appeal letter which said, “His Holiness the Dalai Lama is my Lama to whom I am devoted. My leader is Lobsang Sangay and Tibet is an independent nation.” During his detention, Gawa Sangpo was subjected to severe torture and is currently in poor health condition.
