[Buddha-l] China: Leading Tibetan art collector gets 15 years in jail

[Barnaby Thieme]

This is definitely my favorite part: 

"The trial of the Tibetan, Karma Samdrup, 42, was widely viewed as an effort to punish him for his outspoken defense of his two brothers, both of whom had publicly berated a local police chief who hunted endangered species in a Tibetan nature preserve."

You can't make up a thing like that - no one would believe you.
