As the self-immolations in Tibet continued unabated, China has brought a new law under which anyone caught helping someone self-immolate would be held liable for “intentional homicide”.

According to a regulation recently drafted by the ministry of public security and the judicial bodies, people who plan, organize, incite or help others perform self-immolations will be tried for intentional homicide, state-run Global Times reported on Monday. “Those who parade a corpse through the streets or gather to watch the immolation without actively stopping the suicide will also be subject to criminal prosecution,” it said.
