Sydney protest over uni Dalai Lama snub

STUDENTS will protest at Sydney University on Wednesday over what they claim is the uni's withdrawal of support for a talk by the Dalai Lama.

The university says it did not receive any official request for an appearance by the Tibetan spiritual leader.

However, emails from the uni's vice-chancellor Michael Spence referred to a decision to "withdraw support for hosting His Holiness the Dalai Lama's planned speech", the ABC reported last week.

The report led to allegations that the university, which has close ties to the Chinese government, dropped the invitation for political reasons.

The Dalai Lama no longer makes political statements but is blamed by the Chinese government for the continued self-immolation of Tibetan monks.

The protest, organised by Students for a Free Tibet, will be held at 10am (AEST).
