Mining Protest

Tibetans have been protesting against Chinese mining operations at a sacred site Yulshok Gargye in Minyak County in Kham. The Tibet Post reports a source as saying that toxic waste dumped into the river has resulted in a large number of fish dying. About 100 people took part in the protest which was quickly stifled by police. It is not known whether any arrests were made.
