Reuters: Security Forces Patrol Tibetan Town in Northwest China
Reuters reports that “security forces put on a show of force in the important Tibetan monastery town of Xiahe in the foothills of the Tibetan plateau before a sensitive Tibetan anniversary.” Last year, on the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan Mational Uprising, hundreds of monks at Xiahe’s Labrang monastery took part in the demonstrations against the Chinese government’s rule that made international headlines.
