- "A Tibetan man in his late twenties called Phagmo Samdup set himself on fire on February 5 in Dokarmo town in Tsekhog (Chinese: Zeku) in Malho (Chinese: Huangnan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai, the Tibetan area of Amdo, according to Tibetan sources. It is the first self-immolation of 2014, five years on from the first self-immolation in Tibet of Kirti monk Tapey in February, 2009. Phagmo Samdup set fire to himself at around 9.30 pm in the evening. It appears that not many people were outside to witness the self-immolation.
