A Tibetan man, Dawa, in his 30s, attempted to set himself on fire during the protest rally marking Uprising Day in Dharamsala. He reportedly consumed and poured kerosene over himself. People nearby stopped him, but he pleaded with them to let him self-immolate and said that he had decided to set himself on fire after thinking it over many times. He was taken to hospital.
