yourprotestsafetykuya 2m A Tibetan freedom fighter self immolated in protest of the Chinese occupation of Tibet in front of the United Nations in New York City two hours ago. I won't be sharing any personal information until their family and the community do. I watched this happen in horror on his Facebook Live. May his sacrifice and that of all the Tibetan martyrs who have died for Tibet lead to the liberation of their people.
