Choekyi, 42, a Tibetan monk from Phugugon monastery in Serta County, has been released after completing his four-year prison term. His charge was carrying out “splittist” activities: he had made monks robes on HH the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday and posted photos on WeChat, the Chinese social media platform, that were deemed political. Choekyi is believed to be in poor health after undergoing forced labour in prison.
