Youdon, 45, a Tibetan woman living in Sichuan’s Palyul County threw herself into a river and drowned last week in protest against China’s demolition of Tibetan houses and a historic cemetery near her home, reports Radio Free Asia. Tibetans there feel that the authorities are demolishing the houses of ordinary people to make space for government projects. The locals also complain of nepotism by their County Chief.
