A Tibetan protester set himself on fire at a demonstration in the Indian capital today ahead of a visit by China's president.
The man was engulfed in flames as he ran near the speakers at the rally near the Indian Parliament in New Delhi. Fellow activists beat out the flames with Tibetan flags they were carrying.
The protester was being treated for severe burns at a New Delhi hospital, a Tibetan organiser said.
Chinese President Hu Jintao is expected to arrive in India later this week for a summit meeting.
More than 600 protesters, carrying banners and posters, marched across New Delhi to a central plaza near the Indian Parliament to hold a protest meeting. Some carried posters saying "Tibet is burning" and "Tibet is not part of China". Full story...
