ABSTRACT
Tashi Tsering discusses that prison was only a ten-minute drive from the site of the mass struggle meeting, and the truck jolted to a stop before he had time to collect his thoughts. But when he realized that he was standing in front of the prison itself, his mind focused sharply. He sat in silence, his mind racing, trying to understand what had just happened. After the session in that broken-down little room, his life in the prison went on more or less as before. The routine was always the same. Lhasa's Sangyib prison was to be his final destination. Compared to the Changwu and Xianyang institutions, the Sangyib prison was immense. It lay three miles outside the city itself, near the Sera Monastery. During his time at Sangyib prison there were also periodic interrogations and endless written reports he had to make.
