Inflamed Protests

Self-immolation or the act of lighting ones self on fire. This is commonly used as protests against communist China by Tibetan monks who feel their religion is at stake. Eight self-immolation have occurred within a week  and the Chinese government blames the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama blames the Chinese government, I would have to agree with him, the Chinese government opposes anyone trying to change in any way. They believe the Tibetans support Japan who China is having a territorial dispute with. With tight restrictions on religion the Tibetans would rather die then meet the policies China assigns.
