【新唐人2012年11月29日讯】中共十八大后，藏人继续抗议当局的高压统治，自焚事件与日剧增。从上周开始，西藏、青海、四川境内连续发生四起藏人自焚事件，造成三人死亡。军警立即对当地采取严防严控措施。海外团体发起联署活动，呼吁国际社会关注西藏局势，希望迫使中共停止在藏区的暴力镇压。下面就一起来关注西藏局势。
26号，甘肃省甘南州禄曲县24岁的藏人贡布次仁，在高呼：“西藏要自由”、“西藏要人权”、“让达赖喇嘛尊者返回西藏”等口号的同时，点火自焚，当场身亡。
27号，四川省阿坝州若尔盖县20岁的藏人格桑嘉，也在乡政府办公室前，高呼口号，并往自己身上淋汽油、点火，最后倒地身亡。全副武装的军警在格桑嘉自焚后，对当地实施严控措施。
西藏流亡政府国会议员格桑坚赞表示，西藏发生这么多的自焚事件，在中共十八大上没有任何的讨论。十八大结束，西藏还是看不到新一届领导对西藏采取任何温和的政策，反而让西藏自治区的领导召开新闻发布会，跟以往一样把所有的责任推到达赖喇嘛头上。格桑坚赞说，西藏人很失望，因此以更加激烈的自焚方式反抗。
西藏流亡政府国会议员格桑坚赞：“特别是十八大以后，它们（中共当局）还开始清算发生自焚事件的当地的藏民，不允许他们去悼念自焚家人，不允许他们去支持自焚家人，不允许他们去看望自焚家人，不允许捐款给自焚家人，它们还进行所谓的洗脑活动。要把所谓的当前的紧张局势更倾向于思想。所以搞这么多的政治活动，导致藏民更多的自焚抗议活动。”
中共十八届中央书记处七人组成名单已经出炉，蒙古族原担任统战部副部长、民委主任的杨晶成为书记之一。杨晶的当选，是否会改变西藏和少数民族地区的形式变化？“达赖喇嘛西藏宗教基金会”董事长达瓦才仁认为，不会有改变。
“达赖喇嘛西藏宗教基金会”董事长达瓦才仁：“不管他是什么样的，他的政策在执行时必须按照中国的政策去执行，而这种执行最多能把握这种力度的强弱而已。而并不能改变这个政策。而现在在西藏普遍的问题不是政策强弱的问题，而是政策本身它对西藏问题，对西藏人的所持有的政策和它的手段。”
26号，青海省海南州卫生学校上千学生上街示威游行，抗议近期海南州委宣传部下达给学校的一份文件，内容强调学习藏语无用途，自焚是愚蠢行为等。而学生的抗议遭到军警的镇压，导致数十名学生被打伤，另有几名学生被拘捕。
格桑坚赞表示，西藏发生这么多自焚事件和抗议事件，中共不但不反省现行体制的错误，反而派遣大量武警打伤学生，和抓人。格桑坚赞说，这些方式，肯定会激起更大的民愤。
格桑坚赞：“它们把所有的，就是‘污蔑自焚’的这种行为推广到学校里面，但是现在用‘文化大革命’以前的这种宣传方式，不可能信服群众。因为大家都非常清楚，整个西藏发生这么多自焚原因，主要在于中共对西藏的这种强硬政策。”
到目前为止，西藏自焚人数已经增加到接近90人。越来越多的藏人不惜以生命来抗争，这样的惨烈事件，激起海内外人士的巨大反响。有海外团体协调各个组织就藏人自焚事件起草《致各国议员、政府首脑、人权组织、各国主要媒体、欧盟和联合国等国际机构的呼吁书》。促请国际社会紧急关注，立即行动，派出独立调查团，赶赴藏区，调查悲剧成因，迫使中共停止在藏区的暴力镇压。

Tibetan Self-immolations Draw Support from Overseas
After Chinese Communist Party’ (CCP) 18 congress,
Tibetans continue to protest against its coercion with growing self-immolations.
Since last week, four self-immolation incidents of Tibetans,
resulting in three deaths, have taken place in Tibet, Qinghai and Sichuan province.
The armed police quickly responded with strict control
over the localities of the incidents.
At the same time, overseas groups started signature
movements to call on the global society to pay closer attention to the situation in Tibet.
This is expected to help prevent
more violent suppression by the CCP.
Let’s have a look at the current situation in Tibet.
On November 26th, a 24-year-old Tibetan Gongbuciren
self-immolated in Luqu, Gannan Prefecture, Gansu province.
Before dying, he shouted slogans like, ‘Freedom for Tibet,’
‘Human rights in Tibet,’ ‘Let H.H. Dalai Lama return to Tibet.’
The next day, a 20-year-old Tibetan Gesangjia also shouted
slogans before the township government building in Ruoergai County, Ngaba Prefecture, Sichuan province.
He poured gasoline over his body,
and burned himself to death.
Fully-armed police arrived after Gesangjia’s immolation,
and took strict control over the locality.
Cabinet member of Tibet Government in Exile,
Gesangjianzan spoke on the issue.
He said, there was no discussion at all on the Tibetans’
self-immolation incidents at CCP’s 18th congress.
No moderate policy on Tibet was announced
by the new CCP leadership group as the congress closed.
On the contrary, only provincial leaders of Tibet appeared
in the press conference, and announced Dalai Lama should be responsible for all the incidents as usual.
Gesangjianzan said, Tibetans were deeply disappointed at
what they saw,
bringing them chose to self-immolation too,
as a stronger way to express their protest against the CCP.
Gesangjianzan (Tibet Government in Exile Cabinet member):
”After the 18th congress, CCP’ even began to punish local Tibetans, where self-immolations took place.
They are not allowed to mourn
for their deceased family members.
They are not allowed to support,
visit or donate to victims of self-immolation.
In addition, they carried out many brainwashing activities
to apply even stronger mental pressure on the Tibetans.
All those political measures have led
to more self-immolation incidents.”
The roster of the Secretariat of the CCP’s central
committee was just announced.
Yang Jing, former vice minister of the United Front Work
Department and chief of Ethnic Affairs Committee, was elected in the top seven leaders’ standing committee.
Since Yang Jing is a Mongolian himself, will he bring
changes to the situation in Tibet and other minority groups?
Dawacairen, president of Tibet Religious Foundation
of H.H. the Dalai Lama, believes the answer is no.
Dawacairen (president of Tibet Religious Foundation of H.H.
the Dalai Lama): ”No matter what kind of person he is.
His policies have to be consistent with that
of the CCP’s central committee.
At most he can more or less control the strength
in executing the policies but he is not able to change them.
However, the current Tibet’ issue
lies in the policies themselves.
Especially in CCP’s attitude over Tibet’ problem and how
it rules the Tibetans, rather than the strengths in implementing them.”
On November 26th, thousands of students from Hainan
Medical School in Qinghai made a street protest against an official file from the local propaganda department.
The file stated that studying Tibetan language is useless,
and described self-immolation as “stupid behavior.”
The protest was consequently suppressed by the armed
police. Tens of students were injured and several arrested.
Gesangjianzan remarked that the CCP had never looked inward
for mistakes from the increasing protests and self-immolations.
Instead, they sent groups of armed police to beat or arrest
the students or other people which will only result in more anger from the Tibetans.
Gesangjianzan: ”The CCP have attempted to present
in the schools the act of self-immolation as immoral.
But such a Cultural-Revolution-like propaganda method
can no more deceive the people.
Everyone knows clearly now that the real reason for those
self-immolations is the CCP’s repressive policies on Tibet and its people.”
So far, the number of self-immolations
has increased to nearly 90 in Tibet.
More and more Tibetans have chosen
to protest by giving up their lives.
All those tragic incidents were echoed by strong reactions
from the global society.
There have been overseas groups working in coordination
with Tibetan organizations toward a letter of appeal.
The letter is aiming at countries’ heads, congress members,
human right organizations, media, the EU, UN, etc..
The letter likes to draw a closer global attention
toward the situation in Tibet.
It wants to schedule an independent investigation on Tibet,
revealing the truth behind the self-immolations, and to finally stop CCP from further suppressing the Tibetans.
