MonInfo reports: Grave robbers have left more than 20 old gravesites in the Dalan Dahvar cemetery on the northwestern outskirts of Ulaanbaatar without coffins.
The people who live nearby are used to the sight of the defiled graves, all of which were Chinese.
“There are many graves that have been dug up,” said local resident N. Chuluun. “It’s not an unusual thing to see cranial bones left outside my house.
“I’ve seen people digging up graves. I’ve tried to tell them not to do it and sent them away, but they come back and dig again. People are not scared of digging up graves any more. They go through here often and are used to seeing this.” Read more at www.moninfo.org/content/view/308/19/lang,en/
