China Jails Tibetan Monks Convicted in Bomb Blast
From AP:
Eight Buddhist monks convicted of bombing a government building in Tibet during an anti-government uprising in March have been sentenced to prison, two of them for life, a judge said Tuesday.
The monks were sentenced after being convicted of setting off a bomb at the building in Gyanbe township, said Gang Weilai, the judge who presided over the case at the People’s Court in Chamdo, a Tibetan prefecture.
Gyanbe is about 855 miles east of Lhasa, Tibet’s capital, where peaceful protests against Chinese rule erupted into violence in March.
Gyurmey Dhondup and Kalsang Tsering were sentenced to life in prison while the others received sentences between five and 15 years, Gang said in a telephone interview. He said the monks did not appeal their sentences.

Authoritarian Communist regime have no shame or moral values. They killed hundreds of Tibetans during the march uprising. I know those Tibetans in prisons are being tortured and being killed. But Tibet issue will never ever go away.
Finally justice has been served It serve those arsonist, rioter and killer right. Those 6 girls that were burned alive in their shops can rest in peace I don’t know were you got thousand killed
During the riot the chinese are the one that get stabs,burned and savagely beaten. Tibetan exile like to twist the truth and propagate lie. When confronted they cannot even named a name
