NEW YORK, NY- Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen died after self-immolating outside the United Nations headquarters in New York.
The incident occurred on the evening of July 2, a day after China’s “Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress Law” came into force. The legislation has drawn widespread criticism from the international community, with United Nations human rights experts warning that it risks “entrenching forced assimilation and encouraging transnational repression.”
Before the incident, Rangzen livestreamed a message on social media calling for Tibetan independence and unity. He later succumbed to his burn injuries at Bellevue Hospital in New York.
