Dalai Lama warns of backlash against immolations

Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has told the BBC he is worried about a possible backlash in China against monks and nuns protesting about Chinese rule in Tibet.

A growing number of holy men and women are setting themselves on fire to draw attention to the issue, with 11 cases this year, the most recent just two weeks ago.
