SIDNEY, 13 Jun. (Reuters/EP) –
The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, ha advertido este jueves de que las autoinmolaciones de tibetanos en protesta contra el dominio de China tienen un efecto muy limitado y ha instado al Gobierno de Pekín a analizar "las causas" of these events instead of limiting ourselves to finding culprits.
At least 117 Tibetans have set themselves on fire in broad daylight to protest against China since 2009, most of them in areas of strong Tibetan implantation, like Sichuan provinces, Gansu y Qinghai, beyond the Tibet Autonomous Region recognized by Beijing. Most of them have died.
"Es triste que pasen estas cosas, of course, es muy triste", The Dalai Lama declared to the press during a visit to Australia. "Al mismo tiempo, tengo mis dudas de que tengan mucho efecto estas acciones tan radicales", He added.
Last March, Chinese authorities accused the Dalai Lama of having given money to encourage people to commit self-immolation and that there was evidence that the spiritual leader had orchestrated these acts..
The Dalai Lama, of 77 years, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and fled China since 1959 after the failure of an insurrection in Tibet, ha afirmado que estos actos de protesta son "comprensibles", but has denied any involvement in them.
In addition, has warned that Tibetans are not self-immolating for simple social or family grievances. "Es un síntoma con sus causas", has declared. Las autoridades "deben investigar cuáles son las causas de este síntoma, of these facts, because the solution is not to look for blame, aunque se trate del Dalai Lama", has added.
