AFP.- Estados Unidos expresó en la noche del miércoles su "inquietud" y "tristeza" due to the increase in the immolations of Tibetans, and once again urged dialogue between China and the Dalai Lama.
Washington está "profundamente inquieto y triste por la continua violencia en las regiones tibetanas de China por el aumento en la frecuencia de inmolaciones tibetanas", indicates a statement from María Otero, a State Department official.
USA, that does not question Chinese sovereignty over Tibet, exhortó igualmente a China a permitir que los tibetanos "expresen libremente sus quejas" y a autorizar a diplomáticos y periodistas un "acceso sin restricciones en las regiones tibetanas de China".
Gansu provinces, Sichuan and Qinghai -these last two, gateways to the Chinese autonomous region of Tibet- They have a large ethnic Tibetan population, and they accuse Beijing of repressing their culture.
Access to these three provinces is theoretically open to the international press accredited in China.. However, in practice, Foreign journalists are prohibited from approaching these Tibetan areas, who live in high tension, and where a large number of Chinese security forces are deployed.
More of 80 personas, mostly Buddhist monks, have immolated themselves or have attempted to do so since March 2011. Cases have increased since last November.
