Dashar, a Tibetan who was jailed for ten years for protesting against Beijing’s rule in Tibet, has been released after serving his full term and has returned home to southwestern China’s Sichuan province. Dashar was a monk at Wonpo monastery in Sershul and was detained after taking part in the uprising in 2008. He was held for an additional two months after the completion of his sentence.
