Testimonials
Tenzin Delek Rinpoche explains his why he believes he was arrested and maintains his innocence (from January 2003, whilst awaiting appeal hearing): _________________________________________________ "Whatever [the authorities] do and say, I am completely innocent… I was wrongly accused because I have always been sincere and devoted to the interests and well-being of Tibetans. The Chinese did not like what I did and what I said. That is the only reason why I was arrested… I have always said we should not raise our hands at others. It is sinful… I have neither distributed letters or pamphlets nor planned bombs secretly. I have never even thought of such things and I have no intention to hurt others."
