Amnesty International has received reports that Lobsang Dhondup was executed on 26 January 2003. Amnesty International has also learnt that Tserang Dondrup was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment, and not to eight as previously stated. Some six others arrested in connection with the case are believed to remain in detention. The whereabouts of two young monks who were reportedly interrogated and beaten in connection with the case remain unknown and there are serious concerns for their safety.
