BEIJING — A young Tibetan monk set himself on fire Monday in a remote western town to protest Chinese policies, the fourth monk from Kirti Monastery to self-immolate this year, according to a Tibet advocacy group based in London. The group, Free Tibet, said in a news release that the monk, Kalsang, set himself ablaze in a market in the town of Aba, known in Tibetan as Ngaba. Kalsang was holding a picture of the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled religious leader and called for religious freedom, the group said.
