Prisoners Released

April 6, 2014;

Tsering Lhagon, who has been a political prisoner for 14 years, was released on March 23. He was arrested along with four monks from Sog Tsenden Monastery, and a lay person, in March 2000 for allegedly distributing and pasting leaflets that read “May His Holiness live long,” “Tibet is independent,” and “Chinese out of Tibet.” The others were released some time after sentencing. Another prisoner, Tsedak Gonpo, was released from Mianyang prison on April 1 after serving six years for his role in leading protests in his hometown of Meruma in Ngaba in 2008.
