Exile Tibetan sources have reported that the man named Choezin, whose age is not known, was released on 27 September from Mianyang Prison near the provincial capital of Chengdu. His family members, who had arrived at the prison facility to receive him, were not allowed to take him home. Instead the police officers accompanied him home. Aside from looking weak and scrawny, not much is known about his health condition. A day after his return, he visited the local Jonang Monastery to offer his prayers.
