This is a terrible tragedy, that he felt he had to go to such measure to bring attention to the plight of the Tibetan people. Many more people in Tibet, mostly monk have been self immolating in protest but of course that news is difficult to get into the mainstream media. Jamphel Yesh, was from Kham and has spent only two year in exile in India. He was very politically active while in Tibet and India but this action has been a shock to so many people here. The Tibetan Camp in Delhi, was closed down for over a week and on the day Hu Jinao left Delhi the police and special reserve forces had closed off the Tibetan camp and were armed and ready to move if the Tibetans took to the street. However all that the police did was watch people sit and do prayers for the good rebirth of Jamphel Yeshi. His funeral was in McLeod Ganj on Friday and again the whole town closed down and people march quietly to the Temple of His Holiness to pray. The general atmosphere here in McLeod is somber to say the least
