I was arrested on March 23, 1989...
for participating in a peaceful demonstration against the occupation.
That mentioned day, I entered the high security prison zhang number 4,
where I stayed for 6 years. During my captivity,
I've suffered all kinds of abuse and torture. They gave me so many punches in the
head that I've lost the hearing of mi right ear.
During the first week, I remained locked toghether with
22 prisoners in a small cell without food or water.
We had to relieve ourselves on the floor where we slept.
Every night we heard in the distance the cries of those who were
being tortured. It was a nightmare...
Yeshi shows us some of the tools used in tortures.
This torch was one of the most common instruments.
They hit us on the head with it,
and gave us electric shocks right on the most sensitive parts of the body,
such as testicles, mouth or forearms.

On May 14th, 1995, Yeshi was released.
He had no other choice but to escape exile as thousands of his compatriots
have already done.
They must undertake a dangerous walking journey for weeks
flanking the highest mountains on earth.
Resting during the day and just walking at night to avoid being spotted by the chinese army.
