NEW DELHI | Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:56am IST
(Reuters) - A Tibetan man died on Wednesday after setting himself on
fire earlier this week in New Delhi to protest Chinese rule of the
Himalayan region, activists said, hours before Chinese President Hu
Jintao's arrival in India for a summit of emerging market nations.
Thirty Tibetans, mostly Buddhist monks and nuns, have set themselves on
fire, mostly in southwestern China, in the past year, according to
Tibetan rights groups. At least 20 have died.
Jamphel Yeshi, 27, set himself ablaze on Monday at a protest
criticizing President Hu's visit. He died in a local hospital from his
injuries, the general secretary of the Tibetan Youth Congress said in a
statement.
"The fact that Tibetan people are setting themselves on fire in this
21st century is to let the world know about their suffering," Yeshi
wrote in a handwritten statement found in his room.
Pictures taken by a Reuters photographer showed the activist running
down a street enveloped in flames on Monday. He suffered burn injuries
across 98 percent of his body.
Born in Tibet but living in exile in India, Yeshi was an activist with
the youth organization, which seeks independence for the Himalayan
region, under Chinese rule for more than six decades.
Hu arrived in Delhi on Wednesday afternoon to take part in a one day
summit between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- known
collectively as BRICS.
Indian police have arrested a number of Tibetans in recent days,
activists say, in an apparent bid to prevent protests marring Hu's
visit.
India hosts large community of Tibetans - including exiled spiritual
leader the Dalai Lama - one of the main sources of friction with
neighbouring China, which accuses the Dalai Lama of stirring unrest.
