Lobsang Dhonyoe, 52, a monk from Gonsar Monastery in Dege County, Kardze, has been released after spending six years in a Chinese jail. Lobsang was accused of “splittist” activities against the government including leading a major anti-China protest in 2008. During the protest, along with his fellow monks, he raised the banned Tibetan national flag. It is believed he was subjected to severe torture in prison.
