Chabcha student protesters sentenced up to four years

Eight Tibetan students have been sentenced to varying prison terms for “illegally holding demonstration” on 26 November 2012 by the Chabcha in Tsolho on 10 April 2013. They were charged of “causing harm to social stability” and sentenced from 3 to 4 years in prison. Over a hundred students, teachers and representatives of various schools in Tsolho Prefecture and Gonghe County attended the court hearing.
The student demonstration in Gonghe County on 26 November last year witnessed an unprecedented number of protesters from local Tibetan schools in the area. The immediate cause of the protest was the distribution of political questionnaires and propaganda booklets containing vilification of the Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and propaganda attacks against self-immolation protests among Tibetan students in Tsolho Prefecture.
