Tibetan mother burns herself to death in Sichuan...

A Tibetan mother of three has died after setting herself on fire in Sichuan province, two reports say.

The woman, in her 30s, set herself on fire outside a monastery in Aba county, Radio Free Asia and Free Tibet said.

Aba county has been at the heart of a series of self-immolations involving Tibetans in apparent protest against Chinese rule.

On Sunday, two men set themselves on fire in Lhasa, the first incidents in the Tibetan capital.

One of the men died while the other "survived with injuries", Xinhua news agency said. Full story...
