China jails Tibetan businessman for life
One of Tibet’s richest businessmen has been sentenced to life in prison for helping exile groups, a human rights organisation said today, the latest case in a surprising crackdown on well-known Tibetans once praised by Chinese authorities.
Dorje Tashi was sentenced on June 26 in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, said Urgen Tenzin, director of the India-based Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy.
