Yamyang Phuntsok, 43, also known as Jamkho and a monk from Kirti monastery in Ngaba county was released after seven and half years in prison. Despite a police warning not to welcome Phuntsok home to Julu, his village, many people turned out to welcome him with traditional Tibetan scarves. Phuntsok was detained in March 2009 on suspicion of involvement in separatist activities and sending information to outside contacts.
