- A man died from severe burns near the United Nations headquarters in New York City on Thursday.
- Police responded to an emergency call around 6:30 PM ET, finding the man badly burned, and he was later pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital.
- Exiled Tibetan media identified the man as Logba Rangzen, a Tibetan activist and Uber driver, who reportedly went to the scene with a Tibetan flag.
- Rangzen was known to be enraged by the Chinese government's restrictions on Tibetans, particularly in light of China's new ethnic unity law.
- The US and EU have expressed concern over China's new law, which aims to create a 'shared' national identity among ethnic minority groups and gives Beijing legal grounds to act against people outside its borders.
