Exiled Tibetans carrying Tibetan flags stand in front of a banner showing portraits of the Tibetan self-immolators in a protest gathering in solidarity with the Tibetan immolators on the Tibetan New Year or Losar at the Tsuglakhang temple in Dharmsala, India, Monday, Feb. 11, 2013. The Tibetan government-in-exile has called upon Tibetans to forgo celebrations for the new Water Snake year as a mark of respect for Tibetans who have immolated themselves since 2009.
