南同盟抗議南非拒絕達賴喇嘛入境

南非日前拒絕達賴喇嘛入境，出席和平大會，惹來多方評論。南非天主教杜圖認為，不批准達賴喇嘛入境，除了表示國家屈服於中共獨裁政權之下，亦剝削了南非人民聆聽達賴喇嘛演講的權利。

香港政治團體南方民主同盟，日前亦已透過南非駐港領事館，去信南非總統卡萊馬．彼得勒斯．莫特蘭蒂。南同盟主席龍緯汶希望南非總統莫特蘭蒂可改變初衷，批准達賴喇嘛入境，如果達賴喇嘛最終不能進入南非，會是南非國民的一大損失。

以下是南方民主同盟致南非總統卡萊馬．彼得勒斯．莫特蘭蒂全文：

Please considerate our opinion, change your mind and let His Holiness Dalai Lama visit your country.
