of 15 for taking part in a peaceful demonstration calling for
Tibetan independence from China. For this "crime", she received a
three-year sentence. In 1992 she was sentenced to a further six years
for composing and recording pro-independence songs in prison. In 1996
her sentence was increased by eight years for minor acts of disobedience
while in prison. In 1998 her sentence was extended yet another four
years for participating in prisoner protests at Drapchi Prison, where
most of the political prisoners in Tibet are detained.
At 24 years of age, Ngawang Sandrol is now serving a total sentence of 21
years. Because she has been beaten severely in prison in the past, Amnesty
International remains very concerned about her safety and health. Amnesty
considers Ngawang Sangdrol to be a prisoner of conscience and seeks her
immediate release.
