Nine Tibetans from Horgyal village in Rebgong in Qinghai have been sentenced to prison terms of between three and seven years for creating an informal organisation urging the authorities to return confiscated land, reports Radio Free Asia. They say the land had been confiscated by the authorities in 2011 and subsequently left unused. The arrests are believed to be an attempt to suppress a campaign to reclaim confiscated land.
