Tibetans living in Atsok Gon Dechen Choekhor Ling Monastery and the nearby village in Tsolho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture are being evicted by the Chinese authorities to make way for a planned hydropower station, despite requests to reconsider the eviction, reports Radio Free Asia. It is unknown whether compensation is being paid, or whether the monastery, which was built in 1889 and is home to 157 monks, will face shutdown.
