Farmland at Yushang village in Shigatse prefecture’s Lhatse county in southern Tibet has been seized by the authorities to build an airport. Radio Free Asia reports a local source reports that the Tibetans living there have been offered far less in compensation than the land is worth. The farmland is the main livelihood for the villagers and the land has been in the families for generations.
