Since 27 February 2009, there have been confirmed reports of 46 self-immolations in all three traditional provinces of Tibet. This is the longest string of self-immolations to occur in history. Due to Beijing's harsh repressive policies in Tibet, Tibetans have set themselves ablaze to protest against China's repressive policies, demand freedom in Tibet and call for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile.
