TIBET SOCIETY BBC News Documentary On Self-Immolations.

The BBC is broadcasting a 30-minute programme on the recent self-immolations and protests in Tibet, and their impact on the Tibetan exiled community, as part of the documentary series Our World. The programme can be seen in the UK on the BBC News channel, and in the rest of the world on BBC World. In The Human Torches of Tibet BBC correspondent Sue Lloyd-Roberts asks the Dalai Lama for his views on the current situation in Tibet and questions whether the policy of non-violence is still viable. There are also interviews with the Kalon Tripa Lobsang Sangay, witnesses to self-immolations who have recently escaped from Tibet, and members of the exiled community. A shortened, six-minute version of the programme was broadcast in the UK in April on Newsnight, BBC2.
