The historical context of the longest wave of self-immolations

In the last six years, 142 people have set themselves on fire in Tibet in protest against the Chinese occupation and the suppression of religious freedom. In a discussion evening we will present the book Sebeupalování v Tibetu (Self-immolation in Tibet) by the Tibetan poet Özer, which was published this year by the Czech PEN Club.

Historian Petr Blažek and poet Vít Kremlička will serve as hosts.
