BEIJING –  Chinese state media say police in northwestern China have arrested seven people accused of persuading a Tibetan villager to self-immolate.<\/div>

The official Xinhua News Agency says a police investigation found that the self-immolation by a 26-year-old in Gansu province’s Hezuo city was “masterminded by key members of the ‘Tibetan Youth Congress’ of the overseas Dalai clique.”<\/div>
