The U.S. State Department has expressed concerns about the recent mass arrests of Tibetans in China in a sweeping clampdown by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in response to the ethnic group’s peaceful protests against the construction of a hydroelectric dam.

More than 1,000 Tibetans, including monks, were arrested on Feb. 23, according to the International Tibet Network rights group. The arrests took place at Derge, a town in Dege County in Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in southwestern China’s Sichuan Province.
