“Since 2002, the Chinese government has been hiding behind bad faith negotiations with representatives of the Tibetan government-in-exile. At the same time, Chinese authorities have run a relentless campaign of vilification against the Dalai Lama in Tibet and in China.

Enough is enough.

As the first world leader to meet the Dalai Lama since the unrest began in Tibet in March, Gordon Brown must use his meeting to cement UK support for a peaceful, negotiated settlement in Tibet".
