Tibetans Mining Protest

May 30, 2013;

Thousands of Tibetans took part in a major protest against Chinese mining activities last week in the Driru region of eastern Tibet. Over 4,500 Tibetans gathered near Naglha Zamba, a sacred hill rich in mineral resources, to protest against its exploitation by Chinese miners. Chinese authorities responded by deploying over 50 military convoys at the protest site. Three Tibetans were reportedly killed by a landslide on their way to the protest site.
