Self immolation in Tibet (4)

A Tibetan burned himself in protest of Hu Jintao's visit to Tibet. The Chinese government blamed the Dalai Lama for planning this self immolation. These extreme forms of protest are a result of the extreme oppression in Tibet. Unlike past occurrences this self immolation got on the internet. This shows how the Chinese government can't keep everything contained forever due to modern communication. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/china-blames-dalai-lama-for-self-immolations-after-tibetan-sets-self-on-fire-in-india/2012/03/27/gIQAo6GgdS_story.html
