Tibetan monks and others living in Kathmandu take part in a candlelight vigil in Kathmandu July 7, 2009, to commemorate those killed in Xinjiang. At least 140 people have died after rioting erupted in China's restive far western region of Xinjiang on Sunday, according to state media, the worst case of ethnic violence in the Muslim area for years.
