A Tibetan man has died after setting himself on fire, making him the 99th person to self-immolate since protests against Chinese rule began in 2009.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Kunchok Kyab, 23, set himself ablaze Tuesday in Bora township, near Labrang monastery, in Tibet’s eastern Kansu province.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Exile sources with contacts in the area told VOA’s Tibetan Service the farmer succumbed to his injuries and that Chinese security officials took custody of the body.<\/div>

Kyab, the fourth Tibetan from Bora to self-immolate since the beginning of 2012, is survived by his wife and 10-month-old child.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Tuesday’s incident is the third self-immolation this month as Tibetans continue to call for the return of the Dalai Lama from exile and freedom in Tibet.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Separately, VOA Tibetan reports the Chinese government appears to have stepped up efforts to cut off the flow of information about the situation in Tibet’s autonomous region.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Beijing earlier this month accused an exiled Tibetan monk in south India of incitement and holding membership in the Tibet Youth Congress, which the Chinese government has designated as a terrorist group.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
The monk, Choe Gyatso, had previously distributed information about other self-immolations inside Tibet.<\/div>
