Tibetan man burns to death in protest

A TIBETAN man has died after setting himself on fire in protest at Chinese rule, a rights group said, the latest in a line of dozens of Tibetans to use self-immolation as a form of dissent.

Sangye Gyatso, a 27-year-old father of two, called out for freedom before setting himself on fire on Saturday in north-west China’s Gansu province, Free Tibet said in a statement.
