Gyaltsen Choedon is a Tibetan nun who took part in the mass demonstrations that occurred in March 1988 in Tibet. Following her participation in the protest, she was arrested in April 1988 by Chinese authorities and detained for four months. During her detention, she was subjected to repeated interrogation and torture. Throughout this period, she was also denied adequate medical treatment despite the deteriorating condition of her health, which had long-term consequences.

After completing her detention, Gyaltsen Choedon was released. Due to continued fear of persecution and restrictions imposed on former political detainees, she later fled Tibet and successfully escaped to India in November 1989.

Ngawang Keldron, a 19-year-old Tibetan nun from Garu Nunnery near Lhasa, was arrested on 14 June 1993 along with ten other nuns. The group was accused of participating in a pro-independence demonstration advocating Tibetan independence. Reports indicate that the nuns were detained before they were able to carry out the protest.

Following her arrest, Ngawang Keldron was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. She was reportedly detained with other Tibetan nuns who received prison sentences ranging from two to six years for similar political activities. Her case reflects the broader pattern of arrests and imprisonment of Tibetan nuns for peaceful political expression during the early 1990s.
