Rungye Adak, a political prisoner and nomad hailed as a hero by Tibetans, has reportedly been released after serving an eight-year prison term. He was detained in 2007 after addressing a crowd of thousands at the Horse Festival in Lithang County, speaking passionately about the anguish endured by Tibetans under China and calling for the return of HH the Dalai. The Chinese called his act a “major political incident”.
