A group of ten Tibetans have been given prison sentences and hit with large fines after they protested the construction of a slaughterhouse in Barka Thang township, Sangchu. Leaked trial footage appears to show predetermined sentences of up to 13 years and fines of 70,000 yuan ($10,008) being handed down to the men aged between 50 and 70. The group had sought compensation for land seized by authorities for construction.
