Testimony : Joakim EnerothWhen released from a Chinese prison in 1992 after 33 years of captivity, Palden Gyatso, a Tibetan Buddhist monk, decided to flee to India.
After his release, the Chinese authorities monitored his every step, and he feared a new arrest.
With the help of others, he was able to escape over the Himalayas.
With him he smuggled a bag of instruments that were used to torture prisoners in order to show the world what was going on behind the Chinese prison walls.
In 2005, Swedish photographer Joakim Eneroth traveled to Dharamsala, India, to meet with Palden Gyatso.
The resulting images bear cold testimony to the continuing practice of torture not only in China, but throughout the world.
These photographs will be exhibited at artandphotographs, London, and published as a book by Culture Art Technology, with an introduction by Amnesty International's Deborah Long and an essay by writer Malin Rosen, who accompanied Eneroth on this trip.
