Tibetan Self Immolation

The charred remains of an unidentified Tibetan young man were found on Saturday from a forest area near the Dalai Lama temple at Mcleodganj in Upper Dharamshala, the police said.

Two Tibetans -- a monk in China and a teenager in India -- set themselves on fire on the same day to protest Beijing's ironclad control of the Himalayan region, a rights group and reports said today.

Dozens of Tibetans have set themselves on fire over the past year to protest Chinese rule, sometimes drinking kerosene to make the flames explode from within, in one of the biggest waves of political self-immolations in recent history.

The body of a Tibetan monk who died after setting himself on fire was paraded through the streets in northwestern China, a report said on Monday. This was the latest in a series of self-immolation protests against Chinese rule.
