Road Protest

April 22, 2015;

Tibetan villagers are protesting against a road extension which will run into nomadic grazing land. The villagers are blocking earth-moving equipment with their bodies and demanding that the work, which is taking place in the Gansu province in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, be stopped. No compensation has been offered, and protesters are also concerned about effects on a water source.
