The death this week of Phakpa Gyaltsen who died protesting against a Chinese gold mine in Tongbar town, Dzogang, has sparked a wider protest. Villagers are demonstrating outside local government offices and another man has attempted suicide. Tibetans say that Chinese mining is disrupting sites of spiritual significance and polluting the environment.
