Breaking: Tibetan self-immolates after independence appeal speech in front of UN headquarters in New York

Oh my god... FREE TIBET

The UN will just pump out a condemnation statement and call it a day, reminds me of the Japanese occupation era when they believed in national self-determination from the Treaty of Versailles and begged for independence

I don't get why those giant countries with so much land won't let this small nation live in peace. What, not enough population? No resources? Why even bother????

So tragic...

Should've gone with armed struggle like Afghanistan instead of trusting the UN and doing peaceful protests...

As long as space remains, as long as sentient beings dwell, so shall I also remain to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings.

The older I get and learn about the UN, the more they seem like complete bastards.

The UN's specialty is just expressing regret.

Whether it's the UN or whatever nonsense, I won't forget that sacrifice for my whole life. Watching videos of independence activists these days doesn't feel like someone else's fight

I don't think it's possible at this point. Han Chinese have basically occupied the capital Lhasa. China is throwing money at it like crazy, so a lot of people living in Tibet are like 'well, we're already screwed, might as well get paid.' They even send people to study abroad to assimilate them. The Panchen Lama, who the Chinese government appointed as a rival to the Dalai Lama, was kidnapped by China and they put a puppet fake Panchen Lama in place. Considering all this, even the current Dalai Lama's request is just for some autonomy, but there are people who resent even that, so there's internal division. I think it's pretty much impossible
