In India, thousands of people gathered for the funeral of a Tibetan activist who died after committing self-immolation to protest a visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao. The activist, Jamphel Yeshi, succumbed to his wounds on Wednesday, two days after he had set himself on fire. In New Delhi, a group of Tibetan exiles protested outside the Chinese embassy.

Tibetan protester: “This is to protest against the meeting going on with Hu Jintao. And we want to say, his hands are bloodied because he killed lots of Tibetans, and he is the one who is the human violator. And I want to say that he has no right to come into democratic India.”
