A Tibetan mother-of-four has died after setting herself on fire in south-west China , activists and exiles say.
The woman set herself on fire near the Kirti Monastery in Aba prefecture in Sichuan province.
It is the latest in a spate of self-immolations by ethnic Tibetans in apparent protest against Chinese rule.
Security in Tibetan areas of China has been further tightened ahead of sensitive anniversaries.
The Kirti Monastery has been at the forefront of pro-Tibetan protests in recent months.
A woman and a schoolgirl died after they set themselves afire in Tibet in the past two days to protest China's policies and to demand freedom and the return of the Dalai Lama to his homeland
