Monk’s Body “Unclaimed”

By Contact Staff /  March 21, 2013;

Nepalese Government officials have declared as unclaimed the body of Tibetan monk Drupchen Tsering, 22, who burned himself on Feb 13 in Kathmandu, protesting against the Chinese Rule in Tibet. Despite repeated appeals from Tibetans, the Nepalese government refused to hand over the body as his next of kin are all in Tibet and therefore unable to come forward.
