In
the on-going aftermath of the Tibetan Peoples’ Uprising against the
Chinese government in 2008, people who took active part in the same are
being gradually punished with the severest of sentences without the due
process of law in Tibet. The Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile has
regretfully learnt of such an instance recently. Pema Yeshi
aged 28 years, a farmer from Thangkyi township of Nyarong County, Karze
Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province has been sentenced to a
two-year suspended death sentence and Sonam Gonpo 24 years and Tsewang
Gyatso 32 who are cooks at the Thankyi Primary School have been
sentenced to life imprisonment and 16 years in jail term respectively.
They have been charged with “inciting separatism” and “disturbing
social order”. In fact, these three brave Tibetans had taken an active
part in the “Farming Boycott Movement” and “No Losar” or boycott of the
celebration of Tibetan New Year to show solidarity with Tibetan martyrs
and those who continue to languish in the Chinese prisons since the
2008 demonstrations. They have been sentenced, denied of even the basic
legal rights guaranteed under the Chinese laws and with a summary
secret trial without any representation from their side. We
strongly condemn this regression of the basic human rights and call
upon all right thinking individuals and groups to raise their moral
voice against this severe punishment.  Tibetan Parliament – in – Exile(1st March 2010, Monday)Related:Report: Chinese Court Announces Death Sentence to One Tibetan
