Dharamsala, Aug 13 (IANS) Three Tibetans were sentenced to jail by a Chinese court on charges of "instigation to split the country", for carrying Tibetan leader-in-exile Dalai Lama's pictures, along with his preaching in audio and video tapes, into Tibet.
The men - two of them in their forties and a youth of 22 - had crossed over from Nepal into Tibet on June 28, 2001, and were arrested for carrying the tapes, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) said here Saturday in this Himalayan town, home to the Tibetan government-in-exile.
The court sentenced Jigme, the youth, to two years' imprisonment and two years' deprivation of political rights.

If the largest oil reserve was discovered in the Himalayas within Tibet, maybe something would have been done to help.
