A TIBETAN nun died after setting herself on fire in south-west China, the first woman known to have self-immolated in the region, the Free Tibet campaign group said.
Free Tibet said Tenzin Wangmo, 20, called for religious freedom in Tibet and for the return of the Dalai Lama as she set herself on fire, in the latest protest against perceived repression in the area.
