A Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in Beijing Friday a resolution recently
passed by the US Senate without voting on releasing the so-called Tibetan
political criminals is "completely groundless."
Zhang Qiyue, the spokesperson, made the remarks in response to a reporter's
question on China's stance on the resolution.
According to the reporter, some "anti-China senators" raised the resolution
in May, requiring China to release the "Tibetan political criminals," including
Teazin Deley.
Zhang said according to the Chinese judiciary department, Teazin Deley, also
called Angag Tashi, is not a Tibetan political criminal, but the main
perpetrator of an explosion on April 3, 2003, on the southeast side of Chengdu's
Tianfu Plaza in southwest China's Sichuan province.
He received a death sentence with a two-year reprieve for inciting the split
of the country and scheming explosions, Zhang said, adding that this sentence
was passed according to law by Chinese judiciary department.
Zhang said the US Senate publicly voiced a grievance for these criminals and
made "irresponsible remarks" on China's punishment on criminals. "It is behind
the truth and is absolutely groundless," she said.
