Chinese land grabbing

By Contact Staff /  January 14, 2013;

Passang Lhamo, 62, reportedly burned herself in Beijing September last year, reportedly protesting against illegal land grabbing by Chinese authorities in the Kyegudo region. Repeated appeals to the authorities in Beijing failed to yield any concrete results. She went to Beijing after being refused permission to retain her ancestral home. She was taken to hospital after the incident where she was treated for severe burns. (Tibet.net)
