He remains incarcerated in Drapchi. one of five notorious prisons maintained by the Chinese authorities near Lhasa. Lobsang Wangchuk is in his early 70s. and because of the abysmal prison conditions he may never leave Drapchl alive. But he represents for Tibetans far more than a solitary old man in a Chinese cell. The Tibetans who whisper his name in Lhasa and those refugees who on March 10 each year mark the Tibetan bid for freedom all refuse to let his work and his ideals be destroyed. They cling to the thin hope that their cause may yet elicit the understanding and world support that seem to evade it.e
