'Save Tenzin Delek Rinpoche'

(Bombay | November 5-9, 2004)

 

Tenzin Delek Rinpoche (53), an influential Buddhist teacher was

arrested

on April 7, 2002, and charged with involvement in a series of

bombings. On

December 2, 2002, he was found guilty of "inciting separatism,

committing

crimes of explosions, and illegal possession of guns and

ammunition". He

was not accorded due process because of the denial of representation

by

independent lawyers at his trial and reliance on his conviction

being

reliant on a confession by his relative and co-defendant Lobsang

Dhondup

that was reportedly given during torture. Despite international

outcry,

Tenzin Delek Rinpoche's death sentence was upheld. Tenzin Delek

Rinpoche

is being imprisoned in Chuandong prison, a high security prison in

Sichuan

Province. Chinese government may execute him at any time this

December.
