(TibetanReview.net,
Sep10, 2012) China on Aug 25 jailed a 17-year-old Tibetan girl to a
three-year for three years for alleged splittism after she staged a lone
protest in Karze County of Sichuan Province on Jun 24, reported Radio
Free Asia (Washington) Sep 6. The girl, Jigme Dolma, was taken out of
the Tibetan county of Karze to an unknown location to serve her
sentence, the report added. Her family was allowed to see her only while
she was held in Karze.
On
Jun 24, Jigme Dolma staged a lone protest march from a bridge in the
county towards an intersection at the centre of Karze town, throwing
leaflets in the air and calling for freedom for Tibet, the return of the
Dalai Lama from exile, and the release of Tibetan political prisoners.
She was noticed and set upon by a horde of Chinese police when she
reached the main part of the town and was severely beaten by them as
they took her into custody.
On Jun 28, her relatives finally located her in a local hospital in seriously injured conditions, with an arm in splint.
