TIBET: A BURNING ISSUE
More than sixty Tibetans have to date set
themselves on fire. Where else in the world have a struggle driven people
to such an ultimate act of non-violent protest and sacrifice? The Beijing
Government’s response to the self-immolations has been stepping up security,
intensifying oppression, arrests, detention, torture, intimidation and
aggressive engagement in character assassination. This is not only insensitive
and offensive but also imprudent, as it will only trigger more such acts.
However, the world continues to remain busy doing business with Beijing and
keep a deafening silence on the plight of the Tibetan people.
Central Executive member of Tibetan
Youth Congress, Tenzin Norsang will be in
Taiwan and give an introduction on TYC and
its activities, its goal as independence and the recent spate of
self-immolations inside Tibet, its implications and the political psychology of
self-immolation.
