Raids in Jyekundo
(TCHRD) Hundreds of images of the Dalai Lama were confiscated from homes in Jyekundo (Chin: Yushu/Jiegu) TAP, Qinghai province following midnight raids by PSB officers. Two families were reportedly fined Yuan 500 (UK£35; US$70; EUR€45) for possessing the banned portraits. Pamphlets calling for Tibet's independence were pasted overnight on the walls around the area.
