DHARAMSHALA, June 19: In his last words before setting himself on fire in an apparent protest against Chinese rule, Tamding Thar called for Tibet to be ruled by Tibetans.

In a quatrain written in Tibetan, Tamding Thar, also called for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet, a demand common to all the 39 other Tibetans who have self-immolated since 2009.
