A Tibetan monk has been released early from prison after serving five years of his term for his role in a 2008 protest. Choedrak Gyatso, 31, was initially sentenced to 8 years in prison. The reason for his early release is not known. He is from Shitsang Monastery in Gansu’s Luchu County. Friends, family members and several hundred local Tibetans welcomed him on his return.
