Ngawang Sangdrol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ngawang Sangdrol (born in Lhasa, Tibet, in 1977) is a tibetan nun, campaigning for liberty in Tibet.

She was imprisoned, as political prisoner, by China, still occupying today Tibet, because she shouted "Free Tibet!". Thanks to the international pressures, and to associations for Human Rights, and in particular John Kamm, director of the Dui Hua Foundation, she passed only 11 years in prison while her sentence was 23 years. She was released in October 2002.[1] A documentary film by Marie Louville "Prisonnière à Lhassa" (The Prisoner of Lhasa) explains in detail the life and the release of Ngawang Sangdrol.[2]
