Report: 2 Tibetan monks self-immolate in China
Two Tibetan monks set themselves on fire in a western Chinese city in the latest in a wave of self-immolations protesting against Chinese rule, exiled monks and a Tibet advocacy group said.
The conditions of the two monks were not known after the simultaneous immolations Friday in Maerkang, London-based Free Tibet said. The exiled monks in Dharmsala, India, said one protester died, and police took him and the other monk to a government hospital to prevent them from becoming a focus of larger demonstrations. (AP)
