China Tibet Self-Immolations

Since last March, at least 16 Tibetans, mostly monks and nuns, have set themselves on fire in protest of Chinese government policies. Although initially these self-immolations were largely isolated to a Tibetan area in southwestern China, they have spread and grown in number.

@o1f9k92 You can't put out the fire in a Person's Heart who wants Freedom.

the world at large has not done anything to help the tibetans other than flapping their gums. everyone wants to do business with china so no one will help. these suicides by fire will not achieve anything.

What a miserable world we live in where something like this can happen and the Chinese still have no sympathy. I find this really upsetting.

America is the worse enslavers of Chinese workers. Profit Profit Profit for those American corporations

Theyre just sitting there watching people burn instead of putting them out.

This is a terrible terrible thing to happen. I wish every human was free from oppression and did not feel they need to set themselves on fire.
