A court in southwest China's Sichuan Province on Jan. 31, 2012 convicted two ethnic Tibetans of intentional homicide for inciting eight people to self-immolate, three of whom died. Lorang Konchok, 40, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve and has been stripped of his political rights for life. His nephew, Lorang Tsering, 31, was sentenced to 10 years in prison and has been stripped of his political rights for three years, according to the court verdict. The two incited and coerced eight people to self-immolate, resulting in three deaths, the Intermediate People's Court of the Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Aba found. More than 130 people were present when the verdict was handed down. They included the relatives and friends of the two defendants. Court convictions to punish the people who incited others to self-immolate manifested the dignity and authority of the law, said a published article by Yi Duo on Thursday.
