Monk Freed

September 10, 2016;

Ludrub, a monk from Gyalrong Tsodun Kirti monastery in Ngaba, was released on September 2, a year before completing his full prison term. He was sentenced to five years after being linked to the fatal self-immolation protest of another monk, 18-year-old Lobsang Lodzin, in 2012 in southwestern China’s Sichuan province. Two others detained with Ludrub, Sangye Gyaltsen and Thargyal, have already been released.
