April 2, 2014;

Goshul Lobsang, the prisoner who died on March 19 following his release from prison, may have been subject to torture. The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy says Chinese prison authorities may have used “injections designed to cause and exacerbate” pain, and alleges that the use of such treatments violates international law and medical ethics, saying “The widespread and systematic torture in Chinese prisons cannot exist without the active and implied consent of medical professionals.”
