Tibetan nomad A-Nya Sengdra is due to appeal a seven-year prison sentence given to him “on charges of ‘gathering people to disturb public order’ and ‘picking quarrels and provoking trouble’”. A-Nya is reported to have campaigned against government corruption and environmental damage caused by illegal mining. Advocacy group Free Tibet have called for China to grant “a free and fair second trial” when the appeal is heard on April 27.
