This image shows a bold protest at the end of last month, with local Tibetans blocking diggers and tractors from starting a construction project that threatened their livelihoods.
They had previously petitioned the Chinese authorities against the project, asking for compensation for the destruction of their homes and the land on which they depend.
Several protesters were arrested and interrogated but for the moment the construction is on hold.
The Chinese government wants the world to believe that Tibetans are content under its rule. Stories like this help to expose the reality – can you help us get the news out?
