The Dalai Lama's Tibetan government-in-exile demanded the reversals of a death sentence against a Tibetan activist and a suspended death sentence against a senior Buddhist monk handed down by a Chinese court.
The Tibetan government statement said the monk, Tulku Tenzin Delek, and his activist assistant Lobsang Dhondup were found guilty in a bomb attack and sentenced on December 2 by a court in China's Sichuan province.
The statement said the two men had not been given fair trials and the sentences should be thrown out.
It quoted Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of the exiled government, as saying Chinese "authorities seem to be using uncorroborated charges to clamp down on people who work for Tibetan religion, culture and society."
On December 5, a Chinese official who only gave his family name, Li, said a monk and a Tibetan man had been convicted in three bombings blamed on Tibetan independence supporters.
Li gave only Chinese, rather than Tibetan, names for the two defendants, and refused to identify them further. But one matched the Chinese name given by the London-based Tibet Information Network for Tenzin Deleg Rinpoche, an influential Tibetan community leader in Sichuan.
