Exile Tibetan monks carry portraits of self-immolators in candlelit protest

Exile Tibetan Buddhist monks carry portraits of Tibetan self-immolators and of their religious leader Panchen Lama during a candlelit protest gathering in Dharmsala, India, Thursday, April 25, 2013. Reports say three Tibetans have died after setting themselves on fire to protest Chinese rule in a western region where authorities have imposed a heavy security presence. More than 100 Tibetans have self-immolated since 2011 to protest Chinese policies in the region and call for the return of their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, from exile. <AP Photo/Ashwini Bhatia>
