21 people have been sent to prison for committing “criminal activities” in Shordha town in Kham [Chinese: Qinghai] reports the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy. Their prison terms vary from two to six years, together with substantial fines. The TCHRD report suggests that they have been active in environmental and human rights campaigns which contravene the Chinese regime’s policies in their area.
