the two-year probation period of a Tibetan monk, A'an Zhaxi...

the two-year probation period of a Tibetan monk, A'an Zhaxi, also known as Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, sentenced to death was set to end on January 26, 2005, said the provincial court of southwest China's Sichuan Province. 
According to Chinese law, the death sentence would be commuted to life in prison if the criminal did not violate the law again during the two-year probation, the court said. 
Presently, A'an Zhaxi had abided by the rules in jail and committed no further crimes, said the chief warden of the prison. 
The Tibentan monk was sentenced to death and two-year probation on December 2, 2002, for financing and supporting a series of terrorist bombings and secession activities by the Intermediate People's Court of Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Garze in western Sichuan. 
The provincial court turned down his appeal on January 23, 2003 and he received the judgment three days later.
