Ten Tibetan villagers from Sangchu county in Kanlho were given 9 – 14 year prison sentences on charges of “extortion” and “forced trading” under China’s anti-gang campaign which is being used to crack down on Tibetans the Chinese deem as posing a threat to Chinese communist control. The villagers had requested compensation for damage caused by state highway projects and raised concerns about the building of a slaughter facility locally.
