Mongol hangs himself in China protest: group

BEIJING, Jan 27, 2015 (AFP) - A Mongol herder hanged himself from the gate of a Chinese government building in protest at land seizures in the latest instance of unrest in Inner Mongolia, a rights group said Tuesday.

The suicide on January 19 came as part of several demonstrations by ethnic minority Mongols against alleged land grabs by local authorities, the US-based Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center said.
