In recent weeks the sad news has been confirmed - that the 100th self-immolation by a Tibetan living under Chinese rule has taken place.
Lobsang Namgyal, a 37-year old Tibetan monk from Kirti Monastery, was known as a serious and exceptional scholar.
He set light to himself and died in Dzoge on 3 February.
The 185 Tibet advocacy organizations that form the International Tibet Network express our collective and profound concern at the worsening situation inside Tibet.
As Tibetans continue to set themselves on fire to protest against the intense repression under China's rule, the authorities are responding with an even greater crackdown.
