Jigme Samten, 30, a monk from Gyalmo monastery, has been released after serving four years in prison Sangchu County in Amdo, eastern Tibet, on charges of leading a protest against the Chinese government during the 2008 nationwide uprising in Tibet. Local Tibetans welcomed him home and celebrated his release with khataks (ceremonial scarves) and a convoy of vehicles.
