TWO more Tibetans in China have burned themselves to death, state media and a rights group have reported, part of a wave of protests against Chinese rule.
China's official Xinhua news agency said that two herdsmen self-immolated in northwestern Chinese provinces.
Tsering Dongdri, 35, set himself on fire close to a remote gold mine in Gansu province on Tuesday, the report said, adding an investigation was underway.
Another herdsman, 25, died after setting himself on fire late on Monday inside the home of his brother, a Buddhist monk, in Qinghai province, Xinhua said.
US-based Tibetan rights group International Campaign for Tibet, meanwhile, also reported two self-immolations for the same days and provinces.
It said that a farmer and nomad named Tsering Dundrup, who it described as being in his 30s, self-immolated on Tuesday in Gansu, while Wangchen Norbu, 25, died after setting himself on fire late on Monday.
Though some details differed, the times, dates and locations strongly suggest they were the same incidents reported by Xinhua.
Many Tibetans in China accuse the government of religious repression and eroding their culture, as the country's majority Han ethnic group increasingly moves into historically Tibetan areas.
China rejects this, saying Tibetans enjoy religious freedom. Beijing points to huge ongoing investment it says has brought modernisation and a better standard of living to Tibet.
The Tibetan government-in-exile says 76 people have set themselves on fire since 2009, of whom 62 have died. Those figures were released before the latest reported self-immolations.
