Government response
Further restrictions have been placed upon Mr.
Gyatso regarding his monthly family visits rights
and that his health is rapidly deteriorating. Earlier
in 2006 he was hospitalized for several weeks and
is currently unable to walk normally due to a leg
injury. Also, contrary to information provided by
Mr. Gyatso during his meeting with the Special
Rapporteur on torture, Mr. Gyatso’s prison term
was actually extended by three years for “inciting
splittism” following the incident at TAR Prison.
This means that Mr. Gyatso is scheduled for
release only in 2014.

judgement shall be rendered in respect of the new
offence; taking the crime into account, the
duration of the combined punishment shall not
exceed the length of the individual sentences
taken together, nor shall it be any shorter than the
longest of the individual sentences. It was
pursuant to this provision that the Lhasa
Intermediate People’s Court issued the abovementioned sentence in respect of Jinmei Jiacuo.
After entering prison, Jinmei Jiacuo enjoyed the

meeting with the Special Rapporteur [he] has
been ill-treated and held in solitary confinement in
particularly restricted conditions”. Jinmei Jiacuo is
currently in excellent health and receives regular
visits from family members, and the allegations in
the letter that “restrictions have been placed on
[him] regarding his … family visits and that his
health is rapidly deteriorating” are not true.
By letter dated 19/03/07, the Government
informed that it has carefully examined the
matters referred to in the communication and, with
particular attention to the request put forward in
the communication that the Chinese Government
explain the discrepancy in the number of
Organ harvesting (see also A/HRC/4/33/Add.1,
para. 40). A critical issue was not addressed in the
Government’s previous responses, in particular: It
is reported that there are many more organ
transplants than identifiable sources of organs,
even taking into account figures for identifiable
