Tibetan monks in Dharamsala release report on self-immolations in Tibet
Dharamsala, India, September 12, 2012. The Dharamsala-based Dhomay
Alliance for Freedom and Justice have today released a new report on the
self-immolations in Tibet, available for download here >>
http://www.savetibet.org/files/documents/Dhomay%202012-9-12%20copy.pdf
The report, “Iron Hare 2011 - Flames of Resistance,” is an account of
the Tibetan self-immolations based on first-hand testimony about the
self-immolations as reported by monks from the Kirti monastery in
Dharamsala, affiliated with Kirti monastery in Ngaba in eastern Tibet.
“Iron Hare 2011 - Flames of Resistance” is translated and edited by
Matthew Akester.
The Dhomay Alliance for Freedom and Justice is led by Kirti monks in
Dharamsala, who have played a critical role in reporting the Tibetan
self-immolations to the outside world, working with officials from the
Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala, writers, and other monks.
Beginning with the young monk Tapey who set fire to himself in February
2009, 10 of the 51 self-immolations to date were monks at Kirti in
Ngaba, and 10 were former monks at Kirti in Ngaba.
The International Campaign for Tibet has been significantly reliant upon
the valuable work of the Kirti monks in Dharamsala and other sources
from Amdo and welcomes the publication of this important report.
