Warsaw, January 30 – Poland on Thursday condemned the execution this week of a Tibetan convicted of a series of bomb blasts.
“The republic of Poland joins the international community to condemn the execution of Lobsang Dhondup,” the Polish foreign ministry said in a statement.
Dhondup was one of two Tibetans blamed for a bomb attack last April in Sichuan’s capital Chengdu, which killed one person and injured another, as well as two explosions in the Ganzi area of the Kham Tibetan region under Sichuan provincial administration.
Both Dhondup and his co-defendant were denied representation of their choice at the first trial, and while the original trial was open, the appeal hearing was closed, because, the government claimed, “state secrets” were at risk.
