Human Rights Watch condemned China's execution of a Tibetan convicted of a series of bomb blasts, saying the trial lacked due process and the sentence was carried out too swiftly. The New York-based rights watchdog said the execution on 26 January of Lobsang Dhondup, 28, raised serious concerns about the legal system in China, especially in politically sensitive cases. "Bombings are serious crimes, and they merit serious investigation," said Brad Adams, executive director of the Asia Division of Human Rights Watch. "Instead, China executed Lobsang Dhondup after a trial that lacked any semblance of due process, and conducted the execution almost immediately following the appeal," Adams said.
