A young monk watched an elder monk as they prepared to pray Tuesday, Feb. 21 at the Labrang Monastery in Xiahe, Gansu Province, China, ahead of the Tibetan New Year. Tibetan New Year is usually a time for festivities in China’s ethnically Tibetan areas, but this year some are choosing not to celebrate after deadly unrest and a huge security clampdown. Chinese authorities have implemented what some experts say are unprecedented measures of control on vast swathes of ethnically Tibetan regions following a wave of self-immolations by Buddhist monks and nuns.
