"The effects can be both positive and negative, but they have not been specified in their arrest warrants. There is no basis for reaching a conclusion that they harmed peace and security just by chanting slogans," Kantipur quoted the judges, as saying.
Those released are Nawang Sangmo, Tashi Dolma and Kelsang Chung. They were arrested on June 19 from their respective residences. (ANI)
