Tibetan Goshul Lobsang died on March 19, 2014 at the age of 43 from torture in a Chinese prison in Tibet. Goshul Lobsang, a native of Machu County, was arrested in 2010 and sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in the 2008 protests across Tibet. He was left naked in the harsh winter, not fed, and subjected to severe beatings and torture before being released early to avoid the charge of manslaughter in confinement. Lobsang was killed on March 19, 2014 at the age of 43, leaving behind a wife and two children, due to torture in prison.
Tibetans are no longer subjected to arbitrary detention, arrest, and sentencing by the Chinese of the People's Republic of China who invaded Tibet, which has become the new norm. Tibetans are often taken from their places of residence in the middle of the night and no one is missing for months. While in detention, human rights activists are tortured and forced to confess to their crimes.
Tibetans, unable to defend themselves, were often wrongfully tried by the Chinese. All court documents were written in Chinese, not Tibetan. The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination was also criticized in a 2018 opinion. Tibetans are not even given copies of court documents and are not allowed to give evidence in their defense. They seldom have access to lawyers to fight the charges. What is called a trial is often a sham, and even family members and relatives learned later that the accused had already been tried and sentenced.
