Jigme Gyatso, the Tibetan monk, activist and former political prisoner, has died at his home in Gansu, reports Radio Free Asia. A monk from Labrang Monastery, Jigme Gyatso was subjected to severe beatings during his time in jail and had been in poor health since his release in 2016. RFA reports that he became an “instant hero” in 2009 after making a video describing his brutal treatment while in custody.
