Ven Tashi Phuntsok, 60, a Tibetan monk who was in prison alongside the revered activist Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, has died after a lengthy illness. His health had been poor since his release from prison in 2003. He was falsely accused of colluding with Tenzin Delek Rinpoche in a series of bomb explosions in the city of Chengdu and initially sentenced to seven years, but released when his health deteriorated.
