Tibetans protest in Zachukha over spoken language

Nov. 9 (Phayul): More than 700 Tibetan monks and nuns, most of whom were from Sershul monastery, were stopped by security forces in Tibet’s Zachukha region in the wee hours of Monday as they tried to march towards Sershul County demanding “equality” and “freedom of language,” reported the Bod kyi Dusbab’s online edition.

Around 50 monks and nuns first started the protests on Sunday demanding that the Chinese government respect freedom of language of the Tibetans.
