Reports today of another Tibetan self-immolation in protest against China’s illegal and violent occupation of Tibet. According to account around 4 Pm local time a Tibetan monk engulfed himself in flame in downtown Kyegudo, a town in Tibet’s Kham region.
UPDATE July 10
Confirmed information that this latest Tibetan to sacrifice their life to oppose and expose the tyranny of Chinese rule in Tibet was named Mr Sonam Tobgyal, aged 26.
I’m disappointed that our mainstream papers and media channels barely mention these acts of resistance inside occupied Tibet. Would it really require some similar self-sacrifice outside a Chinese embassy in London or Washington DC to draw their attention ?
Indeed so, mainstream media is by nature fickle, forgetful and often lazy…see how quickly it moved on from the nightmare of Fukushima, now virtually no coverage on the continuing radioactive catastrophe there..meanwhile on media coverage on Tibet would suggest you you read this article https://tibettruth.com/2012/02/14/people-deserve-the-truth-not-media-distortions-on-tibet/
