DHARAMSHALA, September 26: Jailed Tibetan monk Lama Jigme (aka Labrang Jigme, Jigme Gyatso and Akhu Jigme) has told Chinese police guards, in the presence of his brother, that he will gladly accept, even the death sentence, if found guilty.
“If you think that I am a criminal, send me to court for a trial. If I really committed a crime, well then I will gladly accept my sentence, even if it is the death sentence,” Lama Jigme was quoted as saying by his elder brother Sonam Tsering in an oral testimony published by prominent Tibetan blogger Woeser on August 12.
