Fire continues to burn in Tibet: A teenage nun self-immolates
Phayul[Saturday, February 11, 2012 23:47]
DHARAMSHALA, February 11: In confirmed reports coming out of Tibet, a teenage Tibetan nun set her body on fire raising slogans
against the Chinese government in Ngaba, eastern Tibet today.
The exile base of Kirti monastery in Dharamshala, in a release today identified the nun as Tenzin Choedron, 18, from the Mamae
Dechen Choekhorling nunnery.
“At 6 pm on February 11, Tenzin Choedron, age 18, a nun at the Mamae nunnery in Ngaba, set herself on fire while shouting
slogans of protest against the Chinese government,” the release said.
Eyewitnesses have told sources in exile that Tenzin Choedron did not die on the spot and was immediately taken away by Chinese
security personnel towards Barkham region.
Following the self-immolation, Chinese armed forces surrounded the nunnery and sealed it off. At the time of reporting, no further
information is available.
Born to Lopay and Tsepo, Tenzin Choedron is the eldest of her four siblings.
On October 17 last year, nun Tenzin Wangmo, around 20 years of age, from Mamae nunnery had set herself on fire demanding the
return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile. Tenzin Wangmo passed away immediately.
The Dechen Choekorling nunnery, located at a distance of around 3 kms from Ngaba town is the largest nunnery in the region with
more than 350 nuns.
During the pan-Tibet uprisings of 2008, the Mamae nuns staged a protest march, carrying a portrait of the Dalai Lama, following
which many nuns were arrested and detained.
The entire Ngaba region, which alone has witnessed 14 instances of self-immolations, continues to remain tense following the self-
immolation of a 19-year old Tibetan Rigzin Droje on Febraury 8.
In Tibet, 22 Tibetans have set their bodies on fire demanding the return of exiled Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai
Lama and protesting China’s continued occupation of Tibet. Just this month, six self-immolations have already occurred.
Many parts of Tibet remain cut off from outside world with a prevailing situation of undeclared martial law following mass protests
in recent weeks in which at least a dozen Tibetans are feared dead in police firings.
The Tibetan exile leadership and rights groups have expressed fear of further bloodshed and self-immolations in Tibet.

Good for you, quickly build the crementorium and start
collecting gate fees,
you will be richer then you ever imagine....
Keep encouraging more tibetans to self-cremate
Then feed them to the vultures, no coffin need,
hows that for cost saving?
India will also love you for bringing in the death tourist.
Congulations.............
May Christ love you.......
