Imprisoned for Protesting

August 4, 2020;

Ten Tibetans have been sentenced to between 8 and 13 years in prison after protesting Chinese construction projects in Sangchu County. The protestors were arrested in 2019 for allegedly seizing machinery and blocking construction. They were charged with “disturbing social order”, “extortion”, and “verbal threats”. The Chinese claim that arrests like these are part of a campaign against “criminal gangs” participating with “underworld forces”.
