Another Tibetan monk has set himself on fire on Monday—protesting the Chinese regime's suppression and decision to choose the next Dalai Lama.

Kalsang is about 18-years-old and from the Kirti monastery in the Aba prefecture of Sichuan Province.

The London-based Free Tibet group said the monk was holding a picture of the Dalai Lama and calling for religious rights and freedom in Tibet, before lighting himself.

According to Free Tibet, police put out the flames, but Kalsang's condition remains unknown.

This is the fifth Tibetan monk who's self-immolated in protest this year.

Free Tibet director Stephanie Brigden says (quote), "It is tragic that a fifth monk has set fire to himself in Tibet this year...A growing number of Tibetans clearly feel that this is the only way that they can be heard."

Last week two young monks from the same monastery set themselves on fire to protest against the Chinese regime's oppressive control over their religion.

i didn1t see a good quality video of a fresh self imolation there. Anyway, i don1t think its a good tacktick to use, because things returned to the way they were shortly after, as it was used in the past. Also, if they do it that frequent, after some time, people will just get used to it. I think people in tibet should be provided with fast internet connection and good quality video cameras from all over the world, so they take footages of chinese opression easily.

This is ashame... I thought that China's government was quite Zen BUT it's NOT... Maybe out or Chinese Majority Mob's Pressure inside or outside of Tibet... IF China controls Religion or Native Spirit in Tibet, it will have lost its Spirit there... :( :S
