The Political Prisoners Movement of Tibet was established on 27th September 1991 by the former Tibetan political prisoners. The name of the organisation is Guchusum movement of Tibet. The word 'Guchusum' stands for the Tibetan numbers 9, 10 and 3 and these are derived from the three important dates in the Tibetan history - September 27th of 1987, 1st October of 1987 and March 15th of 1988 when three major demonstrations were crushed in Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet.
