British Parliament Debate Tibet Crisis

Members of Parliament press the UK government to take action on the series of self-immolations in Tibet, during a debate on the crisis.

Demands supported by 700,000 people who are calling for action to Save Tibetan Lives.

In an adjournment debate in the House of Commons yesterday, the first on Tibet in three years Members of Parliament called on the British Government to make a public statement of concern about the recent series of self-immolations by Tibetans in eastern Tibet. Since March this year twelve Tibetans have set themselves on fire with a further case in 2009. At least six have died including two nuns.
