Jailed Tibetan Monk

China released a veteran Tibetan Buddhist monk after five years of imprisonment for separatism, the Free Tibet organisation confirmed on Friday.

A prominent Tibetan monk whose death in jail in China last week raised new questions about the rights of the Tibet community, suffered a heart attack after often refusing to see doctors or take medicine, the Xinhua news agency reported.

Dozens of Tibetans shouting "return the body" protested outside a prison in China on Wednesday after a prominent Tibetan monk died in jail, reflecting anger amongst his supporters and family, who believe he was murdered.
