DHARAMSHALA: Golog Jigme, a Tibetan monk who assisted filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen for his documentary shot in Tibet in 2008, is facing possible death sentence as Chinese police has issued arrest warrant against him for alleged murder charges.

Golog Jigme, also known as Jigme Gyatso, is missing since 20 September when he travelled from Labrang monastery to Tsoe in Kanlho in north-eastern Tibet.

Recently on 28 November, the Public Security Bureau of Gansu Province issued an arrest warrant against him for alleged murder charges, announcing 2,00,000 Yuan cash reward for the informers.

Golog Jigme, a monk of Labrang monastery, was born in 1969 at Serthar in eastern Tibet.

Local Tibetans described him as monk of moral integrity and a sincere social worker.

Human rights groups have expressed deep concern over the well-being of Golog Jigme and other political prisoners who are suffering under the repression of the Chinese government.
