The Tibetan Centre for Human Right and Democracy, commemorating the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, held a discussion on torture and released Ancestor’s Tomb a Tibetan manuscript by a young writer in Tibet. The Geneva based World Organisation Against Torture requests urgent intervention to ensure the safety of Tibetan song writers and singers Pema Trinley, 22, and Chakdor, 32, who were secretly sentenced by a Chinese court in February after the release of their album Agony of Unhealed Wounds and then disappeared. Their fellow musicians Khenrap and Nyagdompo are also “missing”.
