Empty original: China pide a ONU que sea "neutral" and do not interfere in their politics in Tibet

Beijing, 5 nov (EFE).- Pekín pidió hoy a la ONU que se mantenga "objetiva, fair and neutral" y expresó su "fuerte desagrado" following the request to China from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, de que "atienda las demandas de los tibetanos" in response to the wave of immolations in that region.

"Esperamos que la Alta Comisionada de Derechos Humanos respete la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, stay objective, fair and neutral, y deje de hacer declaraciones que interfieren en los asuntos internos de China", Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said at a press conference..

On Friday, 2 November, the Office of the High Commissioner in Geneva (Swiss) urged China to listen to Tibetans' demands, due to the fact that more than 60 cases of immolations in areas inhabited by this ethnic group in western China, since March 2011.

Hong again blamed this wave of suicidal acts on the Dalai Lama, asegurando que "su entorno trata de glorificar tales actos extremos, that violate national laws and Buddhist doctrine, animando así a más gente a tomar ese camino de no retorno".

"El horrible acto de sacrificar las vidas de otras personas para lograr sus propios fines políticos va contra los conceptos humanos y morales y debería ser condenado", The spokesman added, asegurando que los inmolados "no representan a la gente" porque "la mayoría de quienes habitan las zonas tibetanas están satisfechos".

The Chinese Foreign Affairs spokesperson also criticized today the Dalai Lama's current trip to Japan - a country with which China already has a tense conflict due to the sovereignty of the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands., noting that Beijing has sent a formal protest to Tokyo for hosting the Tibetan religious leader.

"Nos oponemos firmemente a que cualquier país brinde un escenario para las actividades separatistas del Dalai, cualquiera sea su forma", stated the official source. EFE
