These acts of  resistance, in turn, led to enhanced attempts by PRC authorities to  maintain control, thus creating cycles of repression that resulted in  increasingly desperate acts by Tibetans, such as a series of  self-immolations by Tibetan Buddhist clergy and laypersons in China&#8217;s  Tibetan areas.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><div>&nbsp;<\/div> <p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;

in some Tibetan  areas, as well as the overseas-based&nbsp; Voice of Tibet.&nbsp; In Tibetan areas  of&nbsp; southern Gansu Province and the Ganzi (Kardze)&nbsp; in Sichuan  Province,&nbsp; police confiscated or destroyed satellite dishes suspected of  receiving VOA Tibetan-language television as well as VOA and RFA audio  satellite channels.<\/span><\/p><div>&nbsp;<\/div> <p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;
