BEIJING — A report says three more people have set themselves on fire to protest China’s policies toward Tibetans in a remote area in southwest China.

U.S.-funded broadcaster Radio Free Asia said Sunday the three set themselves on fire Friday in Seda county in Sichuan province. It says one person died and the others are in serious condition. A woman who answered the phone at the county government office Sunday denies the incidents happened.
