Tulku Phurbu Tsering Rinpoche (also known as Pangri-na Rinpoche), 53, a highly-revered Tibetan spiritual figure, has been found in a serious health condition at a Chinese prison near Chengdu city. A Tibetan visitor to the prison has reported that he looks “weak, almost emaciated”. Rinpoche was arrested in 2008 with no specific charge, it is believed it is because of his unwavering faith in the Dalai Lama.
