On February 23, Lobsang Sangay, Prime Minister of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile, headquartered in Dharamsala, passed an Emergency Resolution to highlight the current grim atmosphere in Tibet, and to seek help from the international community to end the current crisis.
At a press conference in India, PM Sangay stated, "The resolution makes it very clear; the Tibetans are in really critical condition. Thirty Tibetans have self-immolated, of which twenty-two have died, and many are in critical condition. The reasons are very clear; the self-immolators and the peaceful protestors are showing their resentment against the continuing occupation of Tibet and the repressive policies of the Chinese government. What the self-immolators, and those who have died, and those who are imprisoned, are demanding or seeking is for H.H. Dalai Lama to return to Tibet and freedom be restored for Tibetans inside Tibet."
