How many lives it takes for China to free Tibet?

Many Tibetan monks, nuns and oridinary Tibetans are sacrificing their lives by setting themselves on fire over the past years to protest against China to have "Free Tibet".

News on 13th, 18 years old Tibetan nun identified as Tenzin Choendon, set herself on fire in Sichuan, western China, protest against Beijing's handling of the vast ethnic regions it rules. She was confirmed dead by Xinhua News Agency while she was on the way to hospital.

Another news source updated on the same date, 19 years old monk, Lobsang Gyatso also set himself on fire in Sichuan Province. He was beaten by Chinese security forces while extinguishing the flames, then took him away but there is no clear update whether he survived.

It has been quite a long, there have been deadly clashes between Chinese security forces and Tibetan protesters from time to time.

China has vilivied the Dalai Lama for more than a decade, accusing him of a campaign to split the Himalayan region from the rest of China. The Dalai Lama says, he is only seeking increased autonomy for Tibet.

China says Tibet has always been part of its territory, but many Tibetans say the region was virtually independent for centuries and that Beijing's control is draining Tibetan culture.
