Tibetan Monk Sentenced

July 19, 2013;

Tsultrim Kalsang, a 25 year old Tibetan monk from the restive Nyatso Zilkar Monastery in Tibet, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison on “intentional homicide” charges. Local sources say Tsultrim Kalsang’s charges are possibly related to the twin self-immolation protest carried out by two Tibetan youths, Ngawang Norphel and Tenzin Khedup, on 30 June 2012. Kalsang was first detained on 1 September 2012.
