Around 300 Tibetans have gathered in Achok Yultso township, Sangchu county, in Amdo, to protest against Chinese gold mining at the holy Gong-ngon Lari Mountain. Armed Chinese paramilitary police have been summoned. The protestors say the mining is illegal and the site of the mine is sacred; they say people want to avoid the environmental destruction and social hardships caused by previous mining operations in the area.
