Libong Tsering, 19, set himself ablaze around 4:20 pm in the Dowa township of Tongren county in the Huangnan Tibetan autonomous prefecture, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

A spate of self-immolations in different parts of Tibet and its prefectures were reported ever since the week long once-in-a-decade leadership Congress held here from November 8.

Total number suicides protesting the Chinese rule and calling for return of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama from India, have crossed over 80 in the recent months.
