Self-immolations in eastern Tibet

Two more self-immolations in eastern Tibet in protest against Chinese colonial rule - Rinchen aged seventeen and Sonam Dargye aged eighteen.

However well-disposed one might be towards China, this cannot continue without the Peoples' Republic of China becoming a pariah state.

What do they want Tibet for anyway?

Update - even hours after hearing this news I still feel shocked.  How terrible and bleak must life be for two teenagers to destroy themselves.  "The past is gone and there is no future".
