Tibetan ‘critical’ after immolation bid in Delhi

“Our protests will not stop. China has no right to grab Tibet from us,”
Lobsang Wangyal, a member of the Tibetan Youth Movement in New Delhi, said.

Since the start of 2011, at least 29 Tibetans, many of them Buddhist monks and
nuns, are reported to have set themselves on fire in Tibetan-inhabited areas
of China to protest against Chinese rule.

Many Tibetans in China complain of religious repression as well as a gradual
erosion of their culture, which they blame on a growing influx of Han
Chinese – the country’s dominant ethnic group – in areas where they live.
