Tenzin NyidonDHARAMSHALA, Jan. 29: A legal team led by Beijing-based Chinese lawyer Dong Peng recently travelled to nomadic regions of Qinghai, the traditional Tibetan province of Amdo, to provide legal assistance to affected communities. According to him, many herders approached the legal team seeking a resolution to pasture-related disputes that have remained unresolved for years, and in some cases, for decades. Despite their refusal, authorities or construction companies reportedly transferred the compensation directly into their bank accounts and proceeded with construction without consent. Lawyer Dong Peng emphasized that, under Chinese law, any eviction from pastureland, state expropriation, or relocation must follow legally prescribed procedures. He stated that his legal team is seeking lawful avenues to resolve these disputes at an early stage and is working to help nomadic communities in Qinghai and other regions exercise their legal rights.
