China Has Sentenced 55 Over Tibet Riot in March

Fifty-five Tibetans have been sentenced for their role in the March riots, according to the New York Times:

The prison sentences range from three years to life, Xinhua reported.

The report in Xinhua was based on comments made Tuesday by Baema Cewang, vice chairman of the Tibet regional government, when he met with Michael Andrew Johnson, a visiting member of the Australian House of Representatives.

Xinhua did not give details of how the sentences were handed down or what sort of trial the prisoners had received, if any.
