A LOCAL court in southwest China's Sichuan Province yesterday jailed two Tibetan monks for intentional homicide over another monk's death by self-immolation.
Tsering Tenzin and Tenchum, of the Kirti Monastery in Aba Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, were sentenced to 13 years and 10 years imprisonment respectively by the Maerkang County People's Court in Aba.
The two were convicted of plotting, instigating and assisting in the self-immolation of fellow monk Rigzin Phuntsog and causing his death.
In a trial on Monday, the court sentenced Drongdru, a Kirti Monastery lama, to 11 years in prison for intentional homicide in Phuntsog's death.
Drongdru was jailed because he hid the injured monk, his 16-year-old disciple and nephew, and by doing so prevented emergency treatment, causing the teenager's subsequent death.
Phuntsog set himself on fire on March 16 and was hidden for 11 hours. He died the next morning after treatment at a local hospital failed to alleviate his condition.
