    Tibetan activist dies after setting himself on fire outside UN headquarters

    Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen died after setting himself on fire outside the United Nations headquarters in New York. His self-immolation occurred following the enforcement of China’s new ethnic unity law, which critics argue accelerates forced assimilation and cultural erasure in Tibet. The Central Tibetan Administration linked his act to Beijing’s policies and their impact on Tibetan identity.
