Posters are going up in parts of China warning ethnic Tibetans against setting themselves on fire in protest and offering money in exchange for information.<\/div>
 <\/div>
The posters say police will pay $8,000 to anyone who provides information “on the people who plan, incite to carry out, control and lure people to commit self-immolation.” The announcement promises a reward of about $30,000 to anyone who gives creditable information about the region’s four most recent self-immolations.<\/div>

​​Authorities, the posters indicate, will keep secret the names of any informants and “be responsible for their security.”<\/div>
 <\/div>
According to a full translation by the International Campaign for Tibet, the notices also decry self-immolation as “an extreme action against human beings, against society” and warns would-be protesters such actions “are ungrateful of how your parents raised you.”<\/div>
 <\/div>
China has long-accused Tibetan exiles of self-immolating as part of a separatist struggle, denouncing them as terrorists.<\/div>
 <\/div>
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei again accused the Dalai Lama of inciting the deadly protests on Wednesday, saying it “is despicable and deserves the people’s condemnation.”<\/div>
 <\/div>
The Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile say they oppose all violence. According to Britain’s The Guardian, Tibet’s “government in exile” has recently issued a formal call to end self-immolations.<\/div>

A recent spate of self-immolations<\/div>
 <\/div>
At least three Tibetans have set themselves on fire to protest Chinese policies in the past five days, and six Tibetans have died in self-immolation protests this month.<\/div>
 <\/div>
On Tuesday, an older Tibetan man has set himself ablaze outside the military headquarters in Labrang, not far from the highly respected Labrang Monastery in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. His self-immolation came just one day after a 61-year-old farmer set himself on fire near the same monastery, which, located in China’s northwestern Gansu province, was the scene of deadly protests against Chinese rule in 2008.<\/div>
