Until today

• 112 Tibetans have self-immolated to protest Chinese rule. 106 in Tibet, 5 in exile, 1 in China
• 109 self-immolated since February 2009
• 2 deadly beatings of Tibetan protesters.
• 92 of them have died since protests began in 2009.
• 23 of them were under 18 (!)

The Dalai Lama has said he does not encourage the protests, but he has praised the courage of those who engage in self-immolation.

You can witness pictures of these brave Tibetans in the gallery below ( warning : shocking images! )
