China: Human Rights Visit Inconvenient

Filed Under Tibet, Human Rights, China | Posted on April 11, 2008

From Reuters:

China has turned down a request by U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour to visit Tibet this month to look into anti-Chinese protests in which at least 19 people died, her spokesman said on Thursday.

“The Chinese authorities came back to her… and said it wouldn’t be convenient at this time,” spokesman Rupert Colville told Reuters.

Well, we certainly wouldn’t want to inconvience them.
