In 1993, 14 imprisoned Buddhist nuns secretly recorded protest songs and
smuggled the tape out of Drapchi Prison in Tibet. When word of the recording
got out, the nuns say Chinese authorities added five to nine years to their

in custody and six others now live in exile. Four are currently visiting
London to help raise awareness of the Tibetan struggle for independence and
religious freedom. Catherine Drew has more
