Fourteen Nobel Peace Prize published Monday, September 15th an open letter to the South African President Jacob Zuma in protest against the refusal of Pretoria to grant a visa to the Dalai Lama who was invited to the Cap in October for the World Summit Award Nobel Peace Prize. We are deeply concerned about the damage to the international image of South Africa unfolds during new refusal - or inability - to grant him a visa, wrote the signatories, who include Iranian lawyer Shirin Ebadi, former Polish President Lech Walesa and the Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus. They demand unconditioned delivery of the document to the Tibetan spiritual leader. We understand the sensitivities involved, but would emphasize that His Holiness the Dalai Lama has no longer any political role and should participate in the summit only in his capacity as spiritual leader respected worldwide. lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2014/09/15/quatorze-nobel-de-la-paix-apportent-leur-soutien-au-dalai-lama-persona-non-grata-en-afrique-du-sud_4487771_3212.html
