They Write Op-Eds

Renowned Tibetan blogger Woeser has an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. The piece is about the framing and railroading of Buramna Rinpoche, a 52-year-old Living Buddha who is the head of Pangri and Yatseg nunneries in Kardze. Buramna was tortured for four days following his arrest on charges of possessing weapons. His lawyers were denied access to him and the trial was inexplicably moved far from Kardze, one of many actions that has been done to deny Buramna, a major religious leader, due process under the law. Woeser’s whole piece is yet another description among the endless list of violations of Tibetans’ rights by the Chinese government.
