On 26 July 2008 ; just three days before the actual commencement of the Summer festival ; four Tibetans from Nangchen County – Asang Bersatsang ; 21 years old ; Ngoesoe Konkyaptsang ; 35 years old ; Jamsang and Gadho (age unknown) shouted slogans in the presence of a large number of local government officials and people at the site of the planned summer festival in Drokshog Township where people were setting up tents and making preparation for the festival. The four voiced their disapproval of the summer festival to greet the Olympic Games by saying ; “this is not the year to celebrate as Tibetans have suffered untold repression under the Chinese regime ; rather it is time to mourn and offer prayers (for those died and imprisoned in recent protests across Tibet) ; ” “we want freedom” and “the Dalai Lama should return to Tibet”. After their protest ; while distributing pamphlets ; the four requested Tibetans at the festival site to return to their respective villages.
