Tibet: Diana Wallis urges joint EU stance on Olympic Games opening ceremony

April 10, 2008 2:38 PM

Tibet flagThe European Parliament today adopted resolution on Tibet by 580 votes to 24 with 45 abstentions. This follows on from the Parliament's debate of 26 March,

The resolution condemned the repression by the Chinese security forces, demanded an independent inquiry under UN auspices and called for a common European stance regarding attendance by EU leaders at the Olympic Games opening ceremony in August.

Diana Wallis MEP said

"The huge vote in favour of the resolution shows the strength of feeling there is the European Parliament about Tibet. We can only hope that if this chorus of disapproval is replicated worldwide then China will be forced to listen to global public opinion."
