A hospital report that Human Rights Watch obtained indicates that he had been in critical condition for ten days before being handed over to his family. His family took him to a nearby hospital in Chengdu, where his admission was delayed due to the family\u2019s inability to afford the expensive medical charges. His family was only able to successfully admit him to hospital almost two months later, still comatosed, on 1 December. He died shortly after.<\/p>\n<p>The trials of Tenzin Nyima and six other Tibetans took place at the Intermediate People\u2019s Court in Sershul on 10 and 12 November 2020. On 14 December, four other monks from Wonpo monastery and two local youths, all between ages 16 and 23, were sentenced for involvement in one of two protests in Wonpo in November 2019 or for spreading news about the first incident. The sentences ranged from one to five years. The sentencing of Tsultrim, who was 15 or under at the time of the protest, is contrary to Chinese and international law.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243; eq_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_hoverbox image=&#8221;13690&#8243; primary_title=&#8221;&#8221; hover_title=&#8221;&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; hover_background_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; hover_btn_title=&#8221;View and download action sheet&#8221; hover_btn_color=&#8221;white&#8221; hover_add_button=&#8221;true&#8221; hover_btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Ffreetibetanheroes.org%2Ffreedom101%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F11%2FPrisonerProfiles_2020_LhundrubDrakpa_ElectedReps.pdf&#8221; hover_custom_background=&#8221;#333366&#8243;][\/vc_hoverbox][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1605696978678{padding-top: 12px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Download our document and<br \/>\n<strong>WRITE IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_hoverbox image=&#8221;13690&#8243; primary_title=&#8221;&#8221; hover_title=&#8221;&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; hover_background_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; hover_btn_title=&#8221;View and download action sheet&#8221; hover_btn_color=&#8221;white&#8221; hover_add_button=&#8221;true&#8221; hover_btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Ffreetibetanheroes.org%2Ffreedom101%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F11%2FPrisonerProfiles_2020_LhundrubDrakpa_ChineseLeaders.pdf&#8221; hover_custom_background=&#8221;#333366&#8243;][\/vc_hoverbox][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1605696987264{padding-top: 12px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Download our document and<br \/>\n<strong>SEND APPEALS TO THREE CHINESE LEADERS<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1585061086162{margin-bottom: 24px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13817&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629373669796{margin-top: 24px !important;margin-bottom: 6px !important;padding-top: 12px !important;padding-right: 6% !important;padding-bottom: 12px !important;padding-left: 6% !important;}&#8221;]Summary: Tenzin Nyima, 19 years old, staged a peaceful protest calling for independence in Tibet.
