A the People´s Republic of China based foreign correspondent has just confirmed what the Norwegian Tibet Committee knew from numerous previous inquiries and complaints; that access to the organisation’s website is blocked from within the People´s Republic of China. The website provides information in Norwegian and English on developments of the political and human rights situation in Tibet. (10-APR-07)

Based on information from Chungdak Koren, the Chairwoman of the Norwegian Tibet Committee, this article was written by HRHF / Niels Jacob Harbitz.

Chungdak Koren 3 100.jpg– This is just another example of how far-reaching and powerful China’s attempt to censor any and all information seen as damaging to the positive image next year’s hosts of the summer olympics really needs is, says Chungdak Koren, left, the Chairwoman of the Norwegian Tibet Committee. – Even if we knew that our website was being blocked, the correspondent’s approach reminds us that we still have very far to go. The correspondent like many of the other’s who have met a closed door as they try to enter our website from within the People´s Republic of China, have found their way through anyway, by way of accessing it through search engines operating from other parts of the world.
