                 Chinese Media: Tibetan Dies in Self-Immolation

   by VOA News

   Chinese state media reports a Tibet man has died after setting himself
   on fire, raising the total of self-immolation protests to seven in a
   week.
   The teenager set himself ablaze Saturday in front of the a monastery in
   northwestern China's Gansu province.  He was identified as Gonpo
   Tsering.
   The deadly protests come as China's leaders are meeting in Beijing at
   the 18th Party Congress for a once-in-a-decade leadership transition.
   China has long accused Tibetan exiles of self-immolating as part of a
   separatist struggle, denouncing them as terrorists.
