Samdup, a Tibetan monk who survived a self-immolation attempt in November 2012, was released from prison on March 7 after serving a three year and three month prison sentence. Samdup, who comes from Ngoshul Monastery in Gomang in Ngaba, was 16 when he self-immolated with two other teenagers Dorjee and Dorjee Kyab. Dorjee died during his protest; Samdup and Dorjee Kyab have remained in detention since, their whereabouts unknown.
