School students demonstration in Labrang county
(TCHRD) A group of Tibetan school students staged a demonstration in Labrang (Chin: Xiahe) County, Kanlho (Chin: Gannan) TAP Gansu province, according to TCHRD. The students started the demonstration at their school, Xiahe Tibetan Middle School, and headed towards the county market area. Reportedly the local PSB stopped the students and they were driven back to the school and a strong contingent of PSB and PAP officers have surrounded the school barring anyone from going in or coming out. The students reportedly demonstrated against the authorities practice of granting reserved seats for higher education meant for the Tibetan students to Chinese students.
