Mother-of-four dies after setting herself on fire in latest self-immolation protest against China's rule over Tibet

A Tibetan mother of four young children has killed herself in the latest self-immolation protest against Chinese rule. Kalkyi, 30, doused her body in petrol before lighting a match near a monastery in Sichuan province's Aba county in western China yesterday. The mother died at the scene and her body was placed in the nearby Jonang Tibetan Buddhist monastery, Radio Free Asia reports. Her death comes just a week after 28-year old Kirti monk Lobsang Thogme set fire to himself on March 16 in Aba.
