Since February 2009, thirty-eight Tibetans in Tibet have resorted to self-immolating to protest against the Chinese government's oppressive regime, 29 of whom are known to have died as a result. Twenty-two self-immolations have already taken place in 2012. Overall, 24 monks (and former monks), three nuns and ten lay-people (three unconfirmed) have taken this desperate action. The condition and whereabouts of the others are not known, though some are reported to be in hospital.

Why are self-immolations occuring now?
 The tragic act of self-immolation reflects the desperation Tibetans inside Tibet currently feel. These Tibetans have been driven by the deteriorating situation inside Tibet, the years of repression and the deep frustration at the lack of any progress towards a just and peaceful solution. All have shouted slogans during their protest, calling for human rights to be respected, religious freedom, for the Dalai Lama to be allowed to return to Tibet and, in some instances, for independence.
The Chinese government's policies in Tibet, which restrict freedoms and basic human rights, have intensified since 2008 when Tibetans across Tibet protested against Chinese rule. There has been an increase in the number of troops stationed in Tibetan areas and monks and nuns have been subjected to 'patriotic re-education' sessions. Demonstrations in Tibet have continued since 2008, though often solitary or in small groups, with heavy sentences handed down to protestors. The act of self-immolation may be one of the last actions that these Tibetans feel they have control over, and their hope is to draw attention to the situation and ultimately bring about positive change for their fellow Tibetans.

First recorded self-immolation in Tibet
 The only previously recorded self-immolation in Tibet occurred on 27 February 2009. Tapey, a Kirti monk in his mid-twenties, set himself on fire in protest after local authorities told monks at Kirti monastery that they were not allowed to observe a traditional prayer festival. Police shot Tapey before they extinguished the flames and took him into custody. Until recently his whereabouts and condition have been unknown. Further reading: ICT
Update 17 Dec 2011: Tapey is believed to be detained in a military hospital in the Barkham area. His legs are paralysed and his arms are "next to numb" according to Woeser, the Beijing-based Tibetan blogger. Read report on Phayul.
Unconfirmed self-immolations
Three Tibetans reportedly self-immolated on 2 February 2012 in the remote village of Phuwu in Serthar (Chinese: Seda) county, Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan province. The three Tibetans were said to be herders, one of whom was said to have died and the other two seriously injured. However, due to the communications blackout imposed by the Chinese authorities this incident has yet to be confirmed. Until this incident has been verified the names are not being added to the list of the Tibetans who have self-immolated.
Take Action
China has to be called to account, not only to end the current crackdown in Kirti monastery, Ngaba but also to respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Tibetan people. The British government must publicly state its concern over the current situation and, along with other international governments, persuade China to ease the increasingly tense situation by withdrawing its troops from Tibetan regions, especially from Kirti monastery, review its repressive policies in Tibet and grant universally recognised human rights to the Tibetan people.
