BEIJING: A Tibetan woman burned herself to death, leading authorities in China to detain her husband, rights groups and media reports said Tuesday, in the latest such protest against Beijing's rule.
Around 110 Tibetans have now set themselves on fire since 2009. Kunchok Wangmo, in her early 30s, set herself on fire in southwestern Sichuan province's Aba prefecture, said the US-based International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) and UK-based Free Tibet, which spelled her name Kunchoek.
