Another Tibetan monk self-immolates over 'Chinese repression' |
A teenage Tibetan Buddhist monk set himself on fire in protest against China 's
political
and religious suppression. The-18-year-old monk, identified as Lobsang Lozin,
burnt himself to death in China 's south-west Sichuan province. Lozin set himself
ablaze and died immediately in Bharkham county in Sichuan province as he marched
towards a government office, the India-based Central Tibetan Administration, or
government-in-exile, said in a statement. According to The BBC, Tibetan exiles
said local people blocked a bridge to stop police from moving in after the incident.
Nearly 42 Tibetans are believed to have set themselves alight so far in Tibetan-inhabited
parts of China . China 's leaders accuse the spiritual leader Dalai Lama of inciting
the self-immolations and encouraging separatism.
