FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The girl was described as a middle school student, but it was unclear whether
she was in regular middle school, where students range from 13 to 16 years
old, or senior middle school, where students can be up to 19. Calls to local
Maqu schools rang unanswered.
On Sunday, a woman identified only as Rinchen set herself on fire in front of
a police station by the main gate to the Kirti Monastery in Aba prefecture
in Sichuan province. Radio Free Asia said she was a mother of three young
children. A report Sunday by the London-based Free Tibet group said Rinchen
had four children.
Radio Free Asia reported that Rinchen called for the Dalai Lama to return to
Tibet and freedom for Tibet as she set herself alight, quoting an exiled
Tibetan monk in India, Kanyak Tsering.
Tibetan areas are mostly off-limits to foreign media and it was not possible
to immediately confirm the claims.
A woman who answered the phone at the local Communist Party propaganda office
in Aba declined to comment or give her name and referred calls to provincial
authorities, who could not immediately be reached. A police official in Maqu
said she was unaware of the report involving the student and hung up.
Free Tibet director Stephanie Brigden said Rinchen’s self-immolation was the
result of repression and attempts to assimilate Tibetans into Han Chinese
culture.
“Tibetans are living under de facto martial law. China’s response to
protests – which are increasingly widespread – has been to intensify
repression and surveillance, pushing Tibet deeper into crisis,” she
said in a statement.
China says it treats minority groups such as Tibetans fairly, and pours tens
of billions of dollars into improving living conditions in their areas. The
government has also accused the Dalai Lama and overseas Tibetans of being
behind the protests and self-immolations.
