A Tibetan environmentalist has been sentenced to five years in prison by a Chinese court, his lawyer has said.

Rinchen Samdrup, the third brother in his family to be jailed, was found guilty of inciting separatism in China, reports say.

The sentence comes just over a week after one of Mr Samdrup's brothers was sentenced to 15 years in prison. More...
