Phakpa, a Tibetan resident of Ngame Ajong township in Ngaba county in Tibet, has been released from prison before serving his full 11-year sentence for taking part in 2008 protests in Tibet. No reason was given for his early release. He arrived home to a hero’s welcome wearing traditional Tibetan clothes and a mask marked with a cross, understood to mean that he has been ordered not to talk about his experiences in jail.
