A Tibetan monk, Thabke, aged about 24, has hanged himself in front of the Labrang monastery in Sangchu county in Gansu province, where he was enrolled. Thabke told friends that he wanted to end his life in protest against the imposition of a variety of restrictive regulations and policies, restrictions on religious freedom, and hardships in the daily life of Tibetan monks and nuns.
