The continued outrage of Tibetans is interjected with a violent display of protest by a Tibetan Nun. While the the violence in this protest was only aimed at herself she wished to bring the eyes of the world to the Chinese oppression of Tibet and her people. News papers in the are claim that the patriotism of the local Nuns is well known and the cases of self-immolation since 2009 have increased. Chinese officials commented by saying that this Nun and those that have committed similar acts are obviously mentally unstable and are or are being manipulated by India's "Dalai clique". This just shows how tensions continue to rise between Tibetans who seek an independent Tibet and the Chinese government. Ever since the flight of the current Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso clamoring for an autonomous Tibet has yet to stop.
