Yangmo Kyi, 45, was released on November 18 having completed her three year prison sentence in Sangchu County. Her family and friends were forbidden from sending news and pictures of her release outside Tibet and Yangmo has been prohibited from using a mobile phone for three months. Her planned welcome home was thwarted when the authorities released her at midnight. She was imprisoned for her involvement with the self-immolation by Dorjee Rinchen in October 2012.
