Self-immolation of Jamphel Yeshi

The images from when Jamphel Yeshi, a Tibetan in his late-20s, set himself on fire and ran in front of a group of protesters and journalists on March 26 are startling and disturbing.

Yeshi's act of self-immolation came just days ahead of Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to India, adding to the astounding 25 cases of self-immolation by Tibetan protesters and monks which have already taken place this year.
