In a Tibetan area of Gansu province, where many self-immolations occurred in recent days, Chinese police are offering up to 8.000 dollars for information about Tibetans planning to set themselves on fire.
According to some versions, since the year 2009 approximately 58 Tibetans, They set themselves on fire in protest against the perceived destruction of their culture, religion and way of life held by the Chinese authorities.
The reward ad said: "El que reporte y denuncie a las autoridades judiciales sobre las personas que planean, encourage you to carry out, control and trick people into self-immolation will be rewarded with 50.000 yuanes", according to International Campaign for Tibet, who published the news on his website.
Since the year 2009 approximately 58 Tibetans, They self-immolated in protest against the destruction of their culture and religion by the Chinese authorities.
The ads were published in Gansu province. The Gannan prefecture and police confirmed to the news agency that they placed them highlighted.
People who give information to the authorities about who organized the last four self-immolations will be rewarded with 200.000 yuan (some 32.000 dollars), added the notice.
Tibetan government in exile said Tibetans should not set themselves on fire, indicando que hay una "población pequeña y cada vida es preciosa".
The International Campaign for Tibet, dice que hay "una intensa concentración militar en la ciudad de Labrang y el monasterio de Labrang Tashikyil" In Gansu province, one of the most influential and important in the Tibetan region.
few days ago, a man selling bread outside the monastery caught fire, just one day after another person also committed self-immolation.
Mary Beth Markey, who heads the Human Rights group for Tibet, dijo que el lenguaje usado en los avisos "es coherente con la falta de reconocimiento oficial de las políticas o prácticas que ciertamente contribuyen a los 58 autoinmolaciones en el Tíbet desde febrero de 2009".
"En cambio, Authorities continue to characterize Tibetan self-immolations as criminal, erróneas o actos miméticos de 'terrorismo disfrazado'",continuous. The Central Tibetan Administration made similar comments in recent days.
Agregó que la "represión sistemática de la libertad de religión y de los derechos humanos, the destruction of the Tibetan language, culture and environment, y la absorción de la nacionalidad tibetana a través de llegada masiva de población china al Tíbet", is causing self-immolations.
