Students Protest

September 23, 2016;

Tibetan students from the Northwest University of Nationalities in the provincial capital Lanzhou in northwestern China’s Gansu province are voicing concerns about a large hike in school fees which have doubled to 8,220 yuan (US$1,200, £920). They have also been forced to move to a remote campus without residence halls or a library, and they are warning they will protest if their concerns are not addressed.
