Around 40 families living in Chunga village in Tsolho in Amdo, Tibet have been evicted to free the land for building an airport, reports Radio Free Asia, saying the compensation offered to them is “inadequate”. The whole village is being relocated, everybody is losing their home and being moved to alternative housing nearby. Compensation offered varies from 12,000 yuan (US$1,700 / £1,300) to 200,000 yuan (US$29,000 / £22,000).
