EU condemns Tibetan executions
(PTI) The Chinese government drew condemnation from the European Union over its execution of Tibetans allegedly involved in the 2008 Tibet protests. "The European Union condemns the recent executions of two Tibetans, Mr Lobsang Gyaltsen and Mr Loyak", the Swedish EU Presidency said in a declaration on behalf of the 27-bloc nation. "On the basis of its principled opposition to the death penalty, the EU, on 8 May 2009, called for a commutation of the death sentences handed down by Lhasa Intermediate People’s Court".
