("中国官方媒体证实了9月26日发生的阿坝格尔登寺的洛桑和另一名僧侣的自焚事件，并说经抢救二人已经无碍。* * * 公布这段录像的人因为怕牵连把录像带出中国的朋友而不愿透露姓名。但他说，录像中试图自焚的年轻人是四川阿坝格尔登寺不到20岁的僧侣洛桑")

Quote:

"The ritual suicides, he [Dibyesh Anand, a Tibet expert at the University of Westminster in London] added, are a sign that young Tibetans are moving away from the Dalai Lama's teachings about nonviolence. 'He has always said that people should not harm themselves or others,' Anand said. 'People respect him, but they are frustrated and they want to protest.'

"Among Tibetan Buddhists, self-immolation had been unheard of before 2009 and until this year was very rare.

The first two paragraphs:

"国成千上万的网民以及中国成千上万的互联网网站版主多年来一直抱怨，中国政府对互联网的操控完全是当局任意而为的黑箱作业，当局动辄不说明任何理由、或以极其模糊的理由对他们的言论和网站进行封杀。被封杀个人和网站常常是有苦难言，或有言有理无处说，因为他们得不到为什么被封杀，被哪个人、哪个机关封杀之类的基本信息。

"在世界各国互联网网站数目持续呈现强劲增长之际，中国则逆潮流而动，创造了世界独一份，这就是中国互联网站总数在2010年减少191万个，比2009年减少了40%以上。
