An ethnic Tibetan couple prostrates as they pray during Tibetan new year at the Labrang Monastery in Xiahe county, Gansu Province, China on February 11, 2013. Tibetans in a northwest part of China which has been a focus of self-immolation protests against Chinese rule marked a low-key Lunar New Year, with many saying celebrations were inappropriate while the burnings continued. At least 20 people have set themselves on fire in the region around Xiahe in Gansu province over the last year. The Tibetan lunar new year is supposed to be a time for celebration, but many Tibetans who spoke to Reuters in Xiahe said there would be no entertainment this year. (Carlos Barria/Reuters) #
