Chinese authorities must release from detention a popular Tibetan singer unjustly sentenced for peacefully expressing dissent against Chinese rule, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) said today. Lhundrub Drakpa, 36, was sentenced to six years in prison for performing a song that criticised repressive government policies in Driru (Ch: Biru) County, Nagchu City/Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), in the Tibetan province of Kham.
