Qumarlêb

— Tenzin Sherab (pictured) was the oldest of five siblings from a village in Chumarleb (Chinese: Qumarleb/Qumalai), Yushu (Kyegu) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (the Tibetan area of Kham). According to exile Tibetan sources, his nomad family had been resettled to Chumarleb under the Chinese authorities’ policies of settlement, land confiscation, and fencing of pastoral areas inhabited by Tibetans, dramatically curtailing their livelihoods.
