Not usual that the cadre can plan this far ahead, to have discerned that the Dalai clique will meet with the separatist agents at Amnesty International, and to have time to prepare. Cadre busy busy.
Dalai Lama to address British parliament
news.com.au[Wednesday, April 23, 2008 10:42]
THE Dalai Lama is to give evidence on human rights issues to a parliamentary oversight committee on foreign affairs during his visit to Britain next month.
"Given the particular interest in China's human rights record in 2008, the committee has requested to take oral evidence from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on a range of human rights issues when he visits the United Kingdom in May, and His Holiness has agreed to this request," the committee said.
The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader is due at parliament in London on May 22.
The committee is currently looking at the Foreign Office's annual human rights report and focusing on issues and countries of concern.
Separate evidence will be heard from Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International as well as Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, the Foreign Office minister responsible for human rights.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said last month that he would meet the Dalai Lama when he visits, angering China which accuses him of masterminding protests against Beijing's rule in Tibet.
Mr Brown's announcement was welcomed by pro-Tibet campaigners, but risked souring relations with China, which he visited in January to boost two-way trade and investment and co-operation in areas like tackling climate change.
