Phayul.com and Tibet Post International are both reporting that a Tibetan man in his fifties self-immolated this morning, dying from his injuries. The man self-immolated at 6:30 a.m. Tibet time, in front of a police station in Tsendha county. The area is now flooded with Chinese security forces, as is often the case following self-immolation protests.
According to Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, “Chinese authorities told the Tibetans gathered there that they will return the body at around 11 a.m. (local time). At around 12 noon (local time), the authorities released the body to the local Tibetans. The body was then carried to a remote nomadic area in Chentsa County.”
