Freedom of Religion
The freedom of religion is virtually not guaranteed since Tibet is a part of the People's Republic of China which restrict the practice of religions. Although in the past there were reports of the deaths of monks and nuns due to maltreatment in prison, there were no known reports of deaths due to maltreatment in prison during the period covered by this report. Buddhist leaders such as Gendun Choekyi Nyima and Tenzin Delek remained in detention or prison.

—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“A heroic figure ... not wholly to blame for the religion that’s been foisted on him.”
