belgium refuses entry to the dalai lama

::Free Tibet Campaign, 9 May 2007

(Please act as soon as possible!)

Belgium has prevented the Dalai Lama from applying for a visa following massive pressure from the Chinese Government. The Dalai Lama was due to appear in Brussels before 300 delegates from around the world at the 5th International Conference of Tibet Support Groups from 11 to 14 May 2007.

It is reported that Belgium's decision has come just prior to Prince Philippe's upcoming trade meetings with Chinese counterparts.

Yes, not good, is it. The Dalai Lama knows that it's the way of the world but there have been many countries he must have been disappointed in over the years when he has asked for help for poor little Tibet.
