Tibetans marked the 14th anniversary of monk Jamyang Palden’s 2012 self-immolation protest against Chinese rule, honoring his death and calling for the Dalai Lama’s return.
The Central Tibetan Administration commemorated the 14th anniversary of Tibetan monk Jamyang Palden’s 2012 self-immolation in Rebgong, Amdo, honoring his protest against what Tibetans describe as Chinese repression.
Palden, a 34-year-old monk, set himself on fire near Rongpo Monastery, survived initially, and died in September 2012.
Chinese authorities reportedly increased military presence and surveillance afterward.
Despite heightened security, locals gathered peacefully to pray and later called for the return of the 14th Dalai Lama.
The CTA shared the tribute on social media as part of ongoing advocacy for Tibetan rights, referencing self-immolation protests that began in 2009 and involve monks, nuns, and laypeople seeking religious and cultural freedoms under Chinese rule.
