On Sunday, two men became the first Tibetans to self-immolate in Lhasa, the capital of the Tibetan autonomous region. The two were taken away by authorities within just a few minutes of setting themselves on fire.
The self-immolation occurred just outside the popular tourist spot, Jokhang Temple, in Lhasa.
According to Chinese state-run media, one of the men, identified as Tobgye Tseten, died. The other, a man identified as Dargye, was hospitalized.
According to Radio Free Asia, a source has said that the two were monks at the temple.
The identity of the two men cannot be confirmed. The temple has been under heavy security since.
