Lobsang Lundrup, a 23-year-old former monk, took part in the demonstration in Lhasa on 5 March 1989 and was arrested three days later, on 8 March, at his monastery. He was subjected to torture during interrogation and subsequently sentenced to a one-year term of “re-education through labor.” Shortly after his release, his ailing father died due to lack of medical care. Following these events, Lobsang Lundrup was expelled from his monastery by Chinese authorities and was denied any opportunity to continue his religious studies.
