Villagers living in Driru county are being ordered to take part in an annual festival that they have been boycotting in protest against Chinese rule. The authorities see the festival as a means to show local residents as happy and prosperous under Beijing’s rule, and are threatening harm to their livelihood or possible imprisonment for those who do not comply. Driru has been under a crackdown for the last year.
