DALAI LAMA REFUSED VISA
There has been a lot of controversy recently in the country of South Africa after the government decided to deny entrance to the exiled Tibetan Dalai Lama because of the potential trade implications with China that the country could suffer if they decided to approve a Chinese visa for the monk to enter the country. The fight has apparently been taken to the high court in Cape Town where groups hoping to allow the Dalai Lama to visit the country have suggested that the government was in the wrong to deny the visa and that it was unlawful to do so despite the potential political implications.
