Free Tibet campaign

Angie with Free Tibet campaigners Paul van Schalkwyk and Hara Charalabopovlou in Portcullis House

Angie met local 'Free Tibet' campaigners Paul van Schalkwyk and Hara Charalabopovlou to discuss the Dalai Lama's announcement that he will be stepping down from his role as the political leader of the Tibetan exile government.

The Dalai Lama will be devolving his powers so that the Tibetan Prime Minister has greater political authority as the region continues to press for autonomy from China - Tibetans will go to the polls to vote for a new prime minister later this month. The Free Tibet campaigners briefed Angie on the continuing arrests and disappearences of Tibetans as China attempts to silence them from speaking out about Chinese Government policies in Tibet.

Angie has agreed to table questions to the Foreign Office asking about these continuing arrests.
