Hundreds of Tibetans in a county in China's Gansu province staged
protests this week over the seizure of farm land for the construction
of highways catering to state-linked gold mining and industrial
activities that are polluting the environment and destroying livestock,
according to sources in the area.
Unfurling huge banners
criticizing what they called Chinese encroachment of local Tibetan land,
the Tibetans gathered on March 16 and 17 to voice their opposition to
the highway projects in Sangchu (in Chinese, Xiahe) county in the Kanlho
(Gannan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the sources said.
