"Sacred Duty" to support

Remember this? The famous cover to Rage against the machine's album 'Bombtrack.' These were protests by monks against the Vietnam War...

Self-immolation is still happening...

The exiled Tibetan community continue to protest in self-immolating fashion against the Chinese government.

"We have made so many appeals (to stop self-immolations), but they are still doing it," said Sangay, the political successor of the Dalai Lama, as the number of self-immolations by monks, nuns and others swelled to 68 since March 2011.'

Tibet's exiled political leader, Lopsang Sangay, said 'that it is the "sacred duty" of the exiled community to support it.'

The Tibetan leader said the world needs to focus on the cause behind the act, not just the act itself.
