Three nuns and two monks have been imprisoned in Tibet for protesting the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and calling for Tibetan independence. Tibet Watch has just confirmed that two of the nuns, Tadrin Tsomo and Choekyi Drolma and one of the monks, Dargye Gyatso were all sentenced to three years imprisonment for distributing and posting protest fliers. The third nun, Yonten Drolma and another monk, Jamyang Samdrub, were both sentenced to one and a half years imprisonment. All five were arrested in May 2005 in Labrang County, Kham (south west region of Tibet).
