Thirty-two Tibetans have self-immolated since 2011 in protest of Chinese rule in Tibet, with most occurring in southwestern China. The document discusses facts about self-immolation locations and different responses to the protests. China accuses the Dalai Lama of deliberately inciting self-immolation and questions his representation of Tibetans, while Tibetan groups cite seven reasons for the protests, including continued occupation, political repression, and cultural assimilation under Chinese rule.
