China: Falun Gong Tiananmen immolation incident ten years on

Categories: East Asia, China, History, Human Rights, Protest, Religion

Following up discussions over why China sees so many acts of self-immolation but none of the response [1] seen in Tunisia, Stainless Steel Mouse [2] notes [3] [zh] that ten years have passed since five Falun Gong protesters led a deadly protest [4] in Tiananmen Square: ‘it didn't lead to a Falun Gong uprising, so don't bother asking why China's many self-immolations haven't led to a revolution.’
