China: Protester sets himself on fire in Tibet protest

A man in his early 20s has become the fifth Tibetan in a week to set himself on fire and die in a county in far-western China to protest against Chinese rule, the self-declared Tibetan government-in-exile said today.

Tsepag Kyab, 21, set himself on fire yesterday evening at a bus station in Amuquhu town in Xiahe county, the Central Tibetan Administration said.
