Dharamshala:- Two monks from the Kirti monastery had been sentenced to up to three years for "separatist activities against the motherland" after they were arrested in April, earlier this year in Ngaba County, north-eastern Tibet.

“Lobsang Tenpa, a 19 year old monk of Ngaba Kirti monastery, draped with a hand-drawn Tibetan national flag around his head and carried a large portrait of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He walked along the main street of Ngaba leading to the County administration shouting slogans calling for repeal of China’s repressive policies in Tibet,” Lobsang Yeshi and Kanyak Tsering said to the Tibet Post International, the liaison officer from Kirti monastery in Dharamshala.

He was arrested soon after the protest and taken into custody by the Chinese authorities and sentenced to two years by the Barkham Intermediate People’s Court on 7 November for “separatist activities against the motherland”. “He suffered immense torture while he was in the custody,” they said. Although the members of his family were allowed to attend the court proceeding but was denied legal aid to plead his case.

Another monk from Kirti monastery, Lobsang Gyatso, 20, was also sentenced on Novemver 7 for three years by the Barkham County Intermediate People's Court. The representative from their monastery in Dharamshala said: “He carried a self-drawn Tibetan flag and walked the street of Ngaba calling for ‘freedom for Tibetans’ and the ‘return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.”

While Obama is visiting Asia, let's keep in mind what a giant evil dictatorship China is.

Free Tibet & Crimea.
Long live Pussy Riot.

1. Here I thought the Chinese would know human biological relationships better than that

Tibet is not culturally part of China. Therefore, the motherland of the convicted monks is Tibet, not China.

China is the monks' Big Brotherland.

Tell the Communists and imperialists that this lefty still believes in the free determination for all peoples.

2. Ven. Kirti Thsenshab was the abbott of Kirti monastery and

the High Lama who gave me teachings. He has now passed away, but he would be so sad, as am I, that young monks must endure torture at the hands of repressive Chinese in pursuit of freedom in Tibet. The Himalayas are the water tower for all of Asia. That particular region of eastern Tibet is a buffer zone between China and India. Do what they will, the love of Tibetan people for Buddhist teachings and especially the personage of the Dali Lama runs very very deep.
