Tegexi, 30, an official in the Inner Mongolian Foreign Affairs Bureau, was sentenced in 1996 to ten years' imprisonment for "organizing a counterrevolutionary group." Tegexi helped found the Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance. He was away from his Hohhot home on business when the police raided it during the December 1995 crackdown in Inner Mongolia, but two days later the police escorted him back to Hohhot and detained him under Shelter and Investigation in the Inner Mongolia PSB Detention Center until his formal arrest in March 1996. He is currently serving his sentence in Inner Mongolia's No.1 Prison. (Sources: Human Rights in China - New York)
