Chinese authorities have destroyed a building designated as housing for monks at Langdi monastery in Markham, Tibet. Officials reportedly arrived at the monastery on April 1 and told monks the building was not allowed. Police arrived with a bulldozer the following day, beating the monastery’s abbot who appealed against the demolition, compelling the monks to leave and demolishing the housing structure. The monastery is now reported to be “almost empty”.
