The man who self-immolated on March 30 has been identified as Tsering Samdup. Radio Free Asia reports that he self-immolated “in front of a Chinese police station near a Buddhist monastery in Kyegudo in Yushul”, Amdo [Ch: Qinghai] and that police immediately removed him. RFA’s source said he was “a very well-educated person […] no one is allowed to meet or inquire about the self-immolator”.
