The reporter carefully studied all the judgments pronounced this time, from which we can see that during the trial, 31 lawyers appeared in court for 33 times to defend 30 defendants.

Gesandoji, vice president of the Criminal Trial Chamber of the Intermediate People’s Court of Lhasa, introduced that according to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), "The defendant has not entrusted a defender, the case has a significant social impact, I really have no financial resources, and the people’s court believes that the prosecution opinions and the transferred case evidence materials may affect the correct conviction and sentencing", "You can" or "you should" appoint a defender by the court, and the court has appointed defense lawyers for all 30 defendants, using their own national languages for trial, and at the same time, according to some laws.
Gesandoji said that the court appointed two defense lawyers for the defendants Yixi, Raba Tsering (Da) and Lausanne Sandan, and specially appointed Tibetan lawyers among them, because the defendants were basically illiterate, and multiple lawyers could collect and present more evidence in favor of the defendants separately.
According to the Criminal Procedure Law, the people’s courts, people’s procuratorates and public security organs should translate for the participants who are not familiar with the local spoken and written languages. Accordingly, nine of the 14 court sessions were held in Tibetan, and the remaining five were arranged for the defendants to translate in Tibetan.
Gesandoji said: "For Lhasa’ 3? In the trial of a series of violent crimes, the court previously demanded that the defendant’s litigation rights must be guaranteed according to law. The lawyer’s defense opinions were fully respected during the trial, and the lighter circumstances they proposed for the defendant were all adopted by the court after verification. "
Cao Qing ‘an, vice president of Lhasa Intermediate People’s Court, said: "The defendant’s right to obtain and use his own national language in litigation is the basic right given to the parties by our laws. We require all collegiate panels to strictly abide by the legal provisions and provide strong guarantee and support for defense lawyers in marking papers and meeting defendants.
Cao Qing ‘an said: "For the defendant’s right to defense, when we appointed a defense lawyer this time, the scope of’ can’ and’ should’ stipulated in the Criminal Procedure Law was even wider. At the same time, a legal representative was also arranged for a minor defendant to appear in court to safeguard his legitimate rights and interests. "
Cao Qing’ an said that in the future, other "3? In the trial of the suspects in the "14" incident, legal aid will also be provided to the defendants who are unable to pay their lawyers, and lawyers will be appointed to defend them. The defendants can also hire lawyers to defend themselves in court.

Sun Wenge, the defense lawyer of the defendant Yixi, told reporters about his meeting with the parties.
On April 19th, when lawyer Sun Wenge met Yixi in Lhasa Detention Center, Xizang Autonomous Region Legal Aid Center specially sent a Tibetan interpreter to accompany him. "When I met him, they were gathering for lunch. When the guards led him out of the queue, he looked in good spirits." Sun Wenge said.
After we were seated in the interview room, the first question I asked him was whether he was tortured during detention and interrogation and how he ate in the detention center. "Yixi told me that I was not tortured, and I ate well here."
"When I told him that I would check the charges against him one by one in the indictment, he rushed to tell me that he didn’t set fire." Lawyer Sun Wenge said, "I checked the indictment, and when I told him that there was no charge of arson, he looked very happy."
"Yixi said that on March 15th, he ran to the county seat under the instigation of a nun in Xiasi, Linzhou County, and took the lead in impacting the county public security bureau. Later, he learned from the news that’ 3? The truth of the 14′ incident, together with other villagers involved, surrendered. " Sun Wenge said.
Since Yixi had no objection to the circumstances of the crime accused by the public prosecution agency, Sun Wenge made a defense opinion to the presiding judge on the circumstances of Yixi’s surrender during the court hearing.
The criminal judgment of the court wrote: "For the defense opinion of the defendant Yixi’s defender that Yixi has surrendered himself, the court partially adopted it."
The verdict pointed out that the defendant Yi Xi was convicted of gathering people to attack state organs, sentenced to 7 years in prison and deprived of political rights for 1 year; He was convicted of stirring up trouble and sentenced to 5 years in prison. Decided to execute fixed-term imprisonment of 12 years and deprivation of political rights for 1 year.
"The court’s judgment on Yixi is slightly lighter than I expected." Lawyer Sun Wenge said, "The maximum sentence for the crime of gathering people to attack state organs is 10 years. Yixi is the principal offender and can be sentenced to 10 years. If five years are added to the crime of stirring up trouble, it is enough to be sentenced to 15 years in prison. However, because the court partially adopted our defense opinions, Yixi was able to make a lighter judgment. "
"It can be said that the defense of Yixi is successful, and I am very happy as a defender." Lawyer Sun Wenge said.
