China says it has released more than a thousand people held
for alleged involvement in anti-government riots in Tibet's capital, Llasa,
three months ago.
The official Xinhua news agency today (Friday) said authorities released
one-thousad-157 people who participated in deadly protests in March. It says 12
others were sentenced this week for their role in the protests.
In April, authorities handed down punishments to 30 people on charges including
arson, robbery and attack on state organs during the unrest.
The news agency quotes Tibet's vice chairman Palma Trily as saying another 116
people remain in custody awaiting trial.
The report was published two days after human rights group Amnesty
International urged China to reveal what happened to more than a thousand
people arrested during the government crackdown on protesters.
