Lobsang Sopa, a monk, was arrested on August 10 following a solo protest against a land grab by local authorities in Shershul County, Kardze Prefecture, in eastern Tibet. The United Kingdom based Free Tibet has reported that Lobsang set up a tent in front of his local government offices and displayed a large handwritten cloth banner. Lobsang has petitioned the authorities in the past regarding Tibetans’ rights to grassland.
