Do you have any comment? 答：达赖多年的言行已经表明他是怎样的人，他关于“3.14”审判的言论与事实不符。西藏自治区人民法院在审理“3·14”案件时，始终严格依照中国的有关法律和法律程序进行，上述案件都公开开庭进行审理宣判。被告人的诉讼权利得到充分保障，他们的民族习惯和人格尊严受到尊重。被告人自行委托辩护律师，没有委托辩护律师的，法院依法为他们指定了辩护律师。各被告人的辩护律师都充分发表了辩护意见。法庭还为被告人配备了藏语翻译。地方人民法院在审理案件过程中始终坚持宽严相济、“严格控制和慎重使用死刑 ”的政策。 A: Dalai’s words and deeds over the years have already exposed his true colors. His remarks on the ruling are anything but facts. While handling the cases related to March 14 incident, people’s court of the Tibet Autonomous Region strictly followed Chinese laws and legal procedures and issued its verdict in open trials. Litigation rights of the defendants were guaranteed with their ethnic custom and dignity fully respected. For example, the defendants have chosen their own lawyers, and for those haven’t, the court arranged for them according to law. The defendants’ interpreters of Tibetan language were also arranged and their lawyers expressed their views sufficiently in court. While handling the case, the local people’s court have exerted leniency in strict accordance with law and adhered to the prudent policy of putting the application of death penalty under strict control.
