The International Campaign for Tibet's continuously updated list of Tibetan self-immolation protests, documenting 159 cases inside Tibet and the People's Republic of China since February 2009, of whom 127 are confirmed to have died, alongside a smaller number of further cases among Tibetans in exile. The organization states plainly that Chinese authorities restrict information reaching the outside world about these protests, so the list cannot be guaranteed to be fully comprehensive.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierReliability tier 2: a long established advocacy organization dedicated specifically to Tibet, an interested party rather than a neutral outlet, but its continuously maintained, case by case self-immolation tracker is independently checkable and is cited by journalists and by academic studies of the subject, the same tier already given to ChinaAid's reporting on China's house church crackdown, a comparable long established Christian human rights advocacy organization.
