Kunchok Wangmo

Full details of the circumstances of Kunchok Wangmo’s protest and death are not known. There is a report here: the tibet post

Shortly afterwards Kunchok Wangmo’s husband, 32-year old Dolma Kyab, was sentenced to death for ‘killing his wife and burning her body to make it look as if she had self-immolated.’ Full details of the circumstances of Kunchok Wangmo’s death are not known. The imposition of the death penalty is rare in Tibet and there are concerns that the verdict may have been influenced by political circumstances.
