The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) expresses grave concerns over the uncertainty surrounding the appeal case of imprisoned Tibetan community activist A-nya Sengdra and his associates, and calls on the Chinese authorities to release them immediately without conditions.
Mr Sengdra, a popular community leader was sentenced to seven years and his associates to varying prison terms on the trumped-up charges of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” and “gathering a crowd to disturb public order” last December in Gade (Ch: Gande) County, Golok (Ch: Guoluo) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, in the Tibetan province of Amdo.
