                   Tibetans Missing after New Self-Immolation

   by VOA News

   Another upset and frustrated Tibetan has set himself on fire to protest
   Chinese rule.
   VOA's Tibetan service confirms Kunchok Kyab, 29, carried out his fiery
   protest early Friday in Shakdum town, in Ngaba Prefecture.  The married
   father of two was quickly taken away by Chinese security and his fate
   was unknown.
   Sources says several Tibetans later approached Chinese forces to demand
   Kyab's return and that they are now missing.
   There have now been at least 28 self-immolations in November and 90
   self-immolations in Tibetan and ethnic Tibetan regions since 2009.
   The acceleration in self-immolations has coincided with Tibetans
   staging several anti-China rallies, despite a heavy Chinese security
   presence.
   Beijing accuses the India-based Dalai Lama of inciting the
   self-immolations to promote Tibetan separatism, a charge he denies.
   Speaking on a visit to Mumbai, India Wednesday, the Dalai Lama said
   totalitarian forms of government are on the decline globally, and he
   urged China's Communist rulers to act according to what he called the
   "new reality."
