(02-14 14:24)

Another Tibetan man has burnt himself to death in protest against Chinese rule in Tibet, bringing the total who've set themselves on fire to at least 101.
US-based Radio Free Asia said the man, whom it described as a former monk, immolated himself last week near a police station in Aba prefecture which is a Tibetan area in Sichuan province. He ran toward the police station, calling out slogans with his body on fire, and died at the scene, RTHK reports.
