Your Excellency,
Investigate torture of Tibetans detained at Nangpa pass in the Himalayas.
I am concerned that a group of Tibetans who were detained in September 2006, when they were trying to flee from China to Nepal were tortured in custody including being beaten with rubber batons and electric-shock prods.
I call for an official investigation into the allegations of torture,with a view of bringing those found responsible to justice.
I also call on the authorities to clarify whether all those detained at Nangpa pass on 30 September 2006 have been released and to clarify the names, whereabouts and legal status of those who may remain in detention.
I urge the authorities to release those who may still be detained immediately and unconditionally; unless they are charged with a recognizable criminal offence.
I condemn the reported shooting of civilians by Chinese border control personnel and I urge the authorities to confirm the identity of those who died or were injured in the shooting, and adequately compensate the victims or their families.
