A prominent Tibetan writer is accusing Facebook of politically motivated censorship after the social media site removed her post about a Tibetan protest.

Tsering Woeser says her Facebook account's link to a video of a monk setting himself on fire in front of a police station in Sichuan province earlier in December was deleted.

The International Campaign for Tibet said 136 people have used self-immolation during the past few years to draw attention to complaints about Chinese rule of Tibet.

Woeser writes that Beijing has taken strong steps to end these drastic protests and to keep word of them from spreading inside China or around the world.

Good for Tsering Woeser.

Facebook sucks. Their policies on politics is basically "we don't agree and it's hone."

K&R!
