Jamphel Jangchub

Jamphel Jangchub, one of the 'Group of Ten' Drepung monks, was released in April 2005. Jangchub had received a three year reduction in 1994 for good behaviour, reducing his sentence to 16 years. Ngawang Phulchung, the last member of the 'Group of Ten' still in detention, is serving 19 years and is due for release in April 2008. The 'Group of Ten' were arrested in 1989 for "seriously undermining national security" by printing copies of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and a leaflet promoting a democratic, free Tibet.
