Dharamshala, Mar 05 (ANI): Scores of Tibetans living in-exile in Dharamsala on Saturday paid tribute to a teenage boy, who immolated himself earlier this week to protest against the Chinese rule in Tibet. 16-year-old Dorjee Tsering, who set himself on fire in Dehradun on February 29, succumbed to his injuries on Thursday in New Delhi. Tibetan Youth Congress president Tenzing Jigme said Tsering’s mortal remains were brought to Dharamsala so that the people could pay their last respects. The first self-immolation in Tibetan society in the modern era took place in exile in Delhi on April 27, 1998.
