Youth immolates self in Ngaba

 

A Tibetan youth named Dugkho has set himself ablaze in Ngaba's Soruma township on Saturday. It is not known if he is still alive. 

This marks the 164th self-immolation by a Tibetan since 1998 in Tibet and exile. 

Ngaba, home of the Kirti monastery with a record number of protests and self immolation just recently saw a self-immolation by a 23-year-old Dhorbo who succumbed to burns while calling for the long life and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
