...by police in the latest signs of growing unrest in Tibetan areas of south-western China's Sichuan province, exile groups said on Tuesday.
The nun set fire to herself on Monday afternoon on a road near her nunnery around 3 kilometres from the county town of Aba, which is known as Ngaba in Tibetan, according to witnesses quoted by the India-based office for exiled monks from the nearby Kirti monastery.
Tenzin Wangmo, aged around 20, is the ninth young Tibetan to self-immolate in Sichuan since March. She is believed to have died following her protest.
