【新唐人2012年4月4日讯】至今为止，已有30多名藏人自焚。最近一起藏人自焚事件发生于上周。而每一次自焚发生，伴随而来的就是中共更加严厉的打压跟控制。今年西藏的示威活动已经有8人遭到中共当局枪毙。日前青海刚察县17名师生也因为参与了抗议活动，而遭到当局的拘捕、判刑。西藏的动荡似乎有扩大的趋势。藏民呼吁国际社会给藏民族再多一些的关注。
今年1月到3月，西藏地区发生了20件僧人自焚抗议事件。而根据统计，至今为止，已经有30多名藏人自焚。同时，藏人的抗议活动已经从寺院延伸到其他领域。
上周五，四川阿坝州“草登寺”两名喇嘛在马尔康县县政府自焚，引发藏人与当地武警对峙。而日前青海北州刚察县17名师生也因为参与了抗议活动，遭到当局的拘捕、判刑。
据《自由亚洲电台》报导，参与抗议的“民族中学”校长已经被撤职，有3名学生被判处3年有期徒刑、5人被学校开除，7,8名学生还在接受调查。
印度“达赖喇嘛西藏宗教基金会”董事长达瓦才仁表示，西藏的任何抗议诉求，哪怕只是要求使用藏语，或要求政治不要干预宗教，都会被安上罪名逮捕或者“被失踪”，甚至可能被军队开枪镇压。
达瓦才仁：“因为中共政府不会在乎西藏人，你不要说30，你那怕300人中国政府都不会在乎，因为中国政府对自己的人民实际上像蚂蚁一样，根本不会，他们的文化里面没有尊重生命这一套。”
据报导，藏人自焚抗议事件已经从农牧区蔓延到学校，整个西藏各个阶层的民众，几乎都参与到这个行动。然而。中共当局并没有因此作出反思，反而继续强化一贯的控制政策。
达瓦才仁：“中国政府从来不会承认自己有任何的错误，而且像他现在把所有罪过责任都赖在达赖喇嘛身上，或者国际反华势力，或者是….，总之他们一定会找到一个敌人说明这些行为都是因为对方，或者是外在原因而不是中国的原因。”
西藏问题分析员、“达赖喇嘛驻美代表处”贡嘎扎西表示，目前国际社会对西藏的局势也感到非常的担忧，而且一直非常关注持续恶化的西藏局势。
贡嘎扎西：“所以从国际上的反应来看，虽然我们一下子看中国政府没什么反应，其实它在内部它非常担心，因为西藏问题，由于西藏问题，中国政府在国际上，国际形象付出很大的代价，所以他不能不考虑这些看法。”
4月3号，包括德斯蒙德•图图大主教等十二名诺贝尔和平奖得主，致信中共国家主席胡锦涛，敦促他“尊重西藏人民的的尊严”，并开启同达赖喇嘛及其他藏人领袖“有实质意义的对话”。
西藏流亡政府负责人洛桑桑盖说，这一自焚行动还会持续。他表示，藏人牺牲了自己的生命就是要让世界和国际社会听到他们的声音，了解他们的苦难。洛桑桑盖在日本访问的记者会上还表示，有关喇嘛陆续自焚的问题，中共当局应负起责任解决。

Tibet’s Situation Continues to Deteriorate
So far, over 30 Tibetans had conducted self-immolation,
with the most recent incident happening last week.
Every incident is followed by more severe suppression
and control by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
So far this year, eight protestors in Tibet
have been shot death.
A few days ago, 17 Qinghai Gangcha’ teachers and students
were arrested and sentenced for involvement in protests.
The unrests in Tibet seem to have expanded. Tibetans urge
the international community for more attention on Tibet.
From January to March this year, 20 incidents of monks’
self-immolation protests happened in Tibet.
Statistics show so far that more than 30 Tibetans
have conducted self-immolation.
Meanwhile, Tibetans’ protests have extended
to other areas than those with temples.
Last Friday, two monks from Caodeng Temple
in Aba County, Sichuan Province, set themselves on fire.
This occurred at Markang County government compound,
causing confrontations between Tibetans and police.
A few days ago, 17 Qinghai Gangcha’teachers and students
were arrested and sentenced for involvement in protests.
Radio Free Asia reported that Ethnic Middle School principal,
who participated in the protest was dismissed.
Three students were sentenced to 3 years in prison,
five were dismissed and about eight are under investigation.
Dawa Tsering, Head of India’s Tibet Religious Foundation
Of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, spoke on the issue.
He said any demands from Tibetans, like speaking Tibetan,
or not intervening in their religion are labeled as crimes.
People are charged, arrested or “disappear,"
and some may even be fired at by the army.
Dawa Tsering: “The CCP does not care about Tibetans.
They do not care about even 300 deaths, let alone 30.
The CCP treats people like ants.
They do not have respect for life in their culture."
Accordingly, Tibetans’self-immolation protests have spread
from the agricultural and pastoral areas to schools.
Almost people from each class are involved in this.
However, the CCP authorities do not reflect on their policies,
but consistently strengthen the control.
Dawa Tsering: “CCP never admits its mistakes. It blames
the Dalai Lama or the international “anti-China" groups.
They always find an enemy to blame.
To them, all these are caused by others, not themselves."
Kunga Tashi, is a Tibetan analyst and
Dalai Lama’s representative to the U.S.
Kunga Tashi said that the international community
expresses concerns over the situation in Tibet.
It has always paid attention to the situation
that continues to deteriorate.
Kunga Tashi: “Regarding the international society’s opinions,
although we don’t see CCP reacting, it is very worried about the Tibetan issue.
The image of the Chinese government is greatly damaged
in the international arena because of the issue of Tibet.
So it has to consider these opinions."
On April 3, 12 Nobel Peace Prize winners including
Desmond Tutu sent a letter to Chinese President Hu Jintao.
The letter urged Hu to “respect the dignity of Tibetan people"
and open meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan leaders.
Lobsang Sangay is in charge of the Tibetan government
in exile, and thinks self-immolation incidents will continue.
He said, Tibetans sacrifice their lives so the world can hear
them and understand the sufferings of the Tibetans.
Lobsang Sangay also expressed during a press conference
in Japan that the CCP authorities should take responsibility to resolve the self-immolation issue.
