Horrifying footage allegedly showing a monk setting himself on fire in protest over China's domination of Tibet has gone viral on social media.
The video appears to show a self-immolation protest near Kirti monastery in Tibet's Ngaba county, an area incorporated into China’s Sichuan Province.
Witnesses reported seeing the man raising a poster and then hearing him call out for Tibetan freedom before setting himself alight.
The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has said it is concerned about the number of Tibetans who are killing themselves in protest of Chinese occupation.
