Bagdro, an elderly monk and writer from the Ganden monastery in Tibet, escaped in 1991. He had been held at the terribile Gutsa centre and then transferred to Drapchi prison in Lhasa for three years where he endured worse tortubetan cause and to make it known throughout the world, telling the truth are: electric shocks causing blood to come from his nose and ears and suspended naked from a tree and severely beaten. After a few months he weighed just 39 kg. “I will never forget those terrible days. In my pain I sought the face of the Dalai Lama and Buddha. I nearly lost my mind and I tried to kill myself.” He arrived in India in a critical physical condition and was immediately put under medical care in Dharamsala. He was invited to Paris by Mme. Danièle Mitterand with the Association France-Libertè for a complete medical cure. He continues to support the Tibout the inhuman repression of the Tibetan people by the Chinese communists. Bagdro has written many books, including “L’enfer sur la Terre”, relating the dramatic situation of that country, with the hope of creating massive support for Tibet from all peoples of the world.
