Two more Tibetan men self-immolate over 'Chinese repression' | Two Tibetan men have reportedly died after they set themselves on fire
in protest against China 's political and religious repression. The men, identified
as Sonam Kyap and Choephak Kyap, were in their twenties. The two men appeared
critically injured after setting themselves on fire and were taken away by local
residents, The BBC reports. According to rights groups, the men later died. Thirty-four
Tibetans have so far self-immolated, mostly in the restive south-western province
of Sichuan . China , which claims Tibetan areas are an inseparable part of the
country, accuses the Dalai Lama for inciting the self-immolations and encouraging
separatism, a claim he denies. Many Tibetans say that Tibet is an independent
country that was colonised by China , and accuse China of political and religious
repression. |
