STATEMENT FROM PRIME MINISTER HARPER ON THE SITUATION IN TIBET

March 20, 2008
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued the following statement today:

"Canada shares the concerns about what is happening in Tibet. As His Holiness the Dalai Lama told me when I met him and as he has been saying recently, his message is one of non-violence and reconciliation and I join him in that call. Canada calls upon China to fully respect human rights and peaceful protest. Canada also calls on China to show restraint in dealing with this situation."
