Dharamshala holds candle vigil for latest self-immolator Kunchok Sonam Around a hundred Tibetans and supporters gathered on Sunday evening at McLeod Ganj square in the exile Tibetan headquarters of Dharamshala for a candle light vigil in solidarity with Kunchok Sonam, the latest Tibetan self-immolator. Kunchok Sonam, an 18-year-old monk of the Thangkor Sogtsang Monastery in Zoege region of eastern Tibet, set himself on fire at around 8:40 am (local time) on Saturday protesting China’s continued occupation of Tibet. He passed away at the site of his protest. Phayul - July 22, 2013 mly phayul/news/article.aspx?id=33759&article=Dharamshala+holds+candle+vigil+for+latest+self-immolator+Kunchok+Sonam
