There are more than 700 political prisoners in Tibet at present. Many of them were detained during the overwhelmingly peaceful protest of 2008, but some have been in prison for much longer. The International Tibet Network has formed a political prisoner campaign working group (PPCWP) to formulate an on-going campaign about Tibet’s political prisoners; this campaign is profiling nine of these remarkable and courageous Tibetans, who are listed below.
