One of Tibet's longest-serving political prisoners, Jigme Gyatso, has been released from prison after 17 years. Images received from Tibet show Tibetans waiting to receive him with khatags (white blessing scarves) to indicate respect and welcome him back to his home area in the Tibetan area of Amdo following his release on March 31. He was described as "very weak" upon arrival back to Sangchu (Chinese: Xiahe) county in Gansu province's Kanlho (Gannan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, where he had been a monk at Labrang Tashikyil monastery before his imprisonment in 1996.
