DHAKA: An exile group has released a graphic video of two Tibetans collapsing in flames during another suicidal protest against Chinese rule, and photos of the charred remains of one of the men.

The Tibetan Youth Congress said by e-mail that the two men immolated on Wednesday in Yushu prefecture, a heavily Tibetan area in west China’s Qinghai province.

The group and the official Xinhua News Agency said one man died and the other was seriously injured, reports The Straits Times on Thursday.

According to the report, the dead man was a local herder and said the survivor was a migrant carpenter from Aba prefecture in Sichuan province.

It said their names and ages were not immediately available.
