Light the Torch – Beijing Olympics and Other Olympic News

Dalai Lama Would Find it "Very Hard" to Attend Beijing Olympics

by Jeanne Dupuis on May 15th, 2008

dalai-lama-nc Despite reports to the contrary, the Dalai Lama, says that his attendance of the Olympic Games in Beijing is not likely.  “If the situation in Tibet remains as it is now, and there is no improvement, then it is very hard to go there,” he told broadcaster ZDF in an interview conducted in Germany, where he is on a five-day tour.  Besides, the Dalai Lama hasn’t even received an official invitation to the Games which, in my opinion, is a bit of an insult especially in wake of the current situation.

According to this report, China is blaming the Dalai Lama for the Tibetan unrest that has occurred since mid-March which has prompted anti-China protests all around the world and has disrupted much of the Olympic torch relay.
