H.H. EXPRESSES CONCERN OVER SELF IMMOLATION OF TWO TIBETAN CHILDREN
His Holiness has expressed his concern over the recent tragic incident of two tibetan children self immolating themselve for TIbetan cause.
His Holiness says, "This week, two young Tibetan children, one in Tibet and one in India, have burned themselves to death. These events pain me deeply. I could not bear to think of it when I heard the news, and for that reason I want to make a request of my fellow Tibetans at home and abroad. From 2009 to the present, nearly 150 Tibetans within Tibet and abroad have immolated their own precious bodies, making the strongest of statements. But neither among the international community nor in any other country has anyone shown the concern that such an act should warrant, any respect for the value of their lives, or any interest in the situation and aspirations that led them to immolate themselves.
