...The new self-immolations bring the total number to t least 69 since February of 2009....
and
...China has long accused Tibetan exiles of self-immolating as part of a separatist struggle, denouncing them as terrorists....
As China opened its 18th Party Congress in Beijing for a once-in-a-decade leadership transition; one might think that such demonstrations of desperation would attract the attention of the leadership... or the party....
... but I can only presume such news is not exactly "reported" within China's media ... anymore than much of our 'news' is "reported" per se.
Whatever the outcome in Tibet... whatever the outcome in China... it says a lot that we rarely hear about this...
... standing by for the water army's arrival to tell us how the Dalai Lama is evil... and I suppose that the self-immolaters are too.
