RUNNING in a ball of flames for some 50 metres, Jampa Yeshi, a Tibetan in his late-20s, screamed and then collapsed in front of a crowd of journalists and fellow protesters gathered near India’s parliament, in Delhi. It was early afternoon on March 26th as several hundred Tibetans held placards, some proclaiming that “Tibet is burning”, while calling for freedom for their countrymen across the northern border. They tried to beat out the flames on the young man’s body, then police rushed him to hospital.(509)
