English term or phrase: Against the backdrop of a stream of self-immolations in Tibet in protest against
I am translating an article for a Spanish news paper and I have some doubts about the following sentence:
"Against the backdrop of a stream of self-immolations in Tibet in protest against Chinese rule, unrest in eastern Tibet with protestors shot by police and a severely increased military presence, several of the most popular independently-run Tibetan language blog sites hosted in China have gone offline as of today".

The words: stream of self-immolations; unrest in eastern Tibet; military presence are words that link you to a article.
So, I am a student but I haven't learnt how to proceeded in those cases.
I really appreciated your help with this.

This translation is from English to Spanish and the target is spanish speakers interested in Human Righs and the freedom of getting information from the internet.
