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.
