Self-immolation Tibet may be more known to the world, but it can also be witnessed in countries where Buddhism and Hinduism are practiced. Self-immolation means killing oneself as a sacrifice. However traditionally practiced in the country, it seems self-immolation Tibet is discouraged as residents are now being forced on a campaign against it.

According to news site Phayul, there are now drills being enforced in Kardze forcing residents to participate in anti-self immolation acts. On Friday, Chinese authorities are enforcing a campaign against self-immolation Tibet. In Kardze County, authorities have forced Tibetans to participate in a drill which tackles protests by Tibetans and self-immolations on May 26. 

Images of the event have been taking the internet by storm, showing Chinese military and police personnel trying to put off the flames on a burning dummy. One image even showed how the anti self-immolation Tibet is despised. The photo illustrates several Tibetans with banners charging towards security forces, against the forced drill.

According to a Tibetan source, the Tibetan government employees were forced to participate in the exercise that is aimed at cracking down on Tibetan protests against the Chinese government. The anti self-immolation Tibet exercise held this week in Kardze (in Chinese, Ganzi) was directed by Chinese security services and included numbers of Tibetan government employees. Radio Free Asia's Tibetan Service reports that the employees have been coerced to take part, says a resident of the area on Thursday.

The resident said, "Tibetan employees in the Kardze area were forced to participate in an official mock exercise in Kardze town on May 26," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Aside from self-immolation Tibet exercises, Tibetans in Kardze have also championed Tibetan language and religious rights. These causes have reportedly been frequently opposed by Chinese authorities as expressions of Tibetan national and cultural identity.

The source said, "[Tibetans] were threatened that they and their parents and other family members would be investigated if they refused to be involved in the exercise. So many had no choice but to participate."

Kardze has reportedly been at the heart of several protests by Tibetans and a place where self-immolation Tibet is common since 2009. 

According to another Tibetan source, the participating Tibetans were held and threatened that their family members would suffered interrogation for refusal of their cooperation. 

Self-immolation Tibet has been prevalent since 2009. Since that year, 131 Tibetans have set themselves on fire in protest of China itself, its policies in Tibet and in order to demand Tibetan leader Dalai Lama be allowed to return to Tibet. According to RFA, there have been sporadic demonstrations which challenges Beijing's rule have been continuing in Tibetan-populated areas of China since widespread protests swept the region in 2008.
