China detains 70 Tibetans accused of inciting self-immolations

China has detained 70 Tibetans for inciting self-immolations in a crackdown against Tibetan protest.

Tibetans offer prayers near mock coffins to represent the victims of self-immolation during a rally in Siliguri today. China said it would 'resolutely crack down' on any attempts to instigate violence in Tibetan-inhabited areas, where authorities have launched a deadly clampdown on protesters.
