Summary of Tenzin Deleg Rinpoche's case
Tenzin Deleg Rinpoche, one of the most important religious leaders in Tibet, has been sentenced to death (suspended for 2 years) by China for a crime he did not commit and could be executed in January 2005.
Arrested in April 2002 for alleged involvement in a bomb explosion, he and a colleague, Lobsang Dhondup, were sentenced in December 2002.
Lobsang Dhondup was executed on 26 January 2003 after the sentences were upheld following an appeal.
Tenzin Deleg Rinpoche maintains his innocence and China have failed to produce any evidence showing his involvement.
To date 16 Tibetans have been detained, arrested or disappeared in relation to this case, some for simply trying to pass information on the case to the outside world.
Following international pressure five Tibetans connected with the case have already been released.
