China secretly sentences a Tibetan monk to seven years in prison
Dharamshala — Chinese authorities in Lhasa have secretly sentenced a Tibetan monk to seven years in prison following his arrest in 2021. He was accused of helping monks escape from Tibet to India and making offerings to their spiritual leader in exile, His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His conviction was revealed only recently, when his family received invoices for expenses incurred during his imprisonment.
