Y aurait-il du Dalaï Lama dans l‘air ?

Pourquoi la Chine a-t-elle expulsé  Jens Galschiot ?  

As Danish sculptor Jens Galschiot landed in Hong Kong on Saturday 30 May he was expelled after 5 hours of interrogation and sent back with the first plane. China will with this expulsion of a Danish citizen humiliate an punish the Danish government for the meeting with the Dalai Lama – so the rumours circulating in Hong Kong.

*The Danish sculptor had come to Hong Kong with his two sons and a documentary filmmaker to participate in the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre on 4th June. Danish consul Tomas Andersen had come to the gate to meet the artist. Numerous reporters had booked a return ticket to catch the opportunity for an interview before Galschiot’s passing the pass control.

*At the pass control Jens Galschiot was sorted out for interrogation. The other three members of the Danish group entered smoothly. The interrogation started immediately, although Galschiot requested the assistance of the Danish consul and Albert Ho, MP and of the most respected lawyers of Asia. Both of them had come to the airport for this very reason. Only after 4 – 5 hours of interrogation the consul and the lawyer were allowed to meet Galschiot. The consul had been calling Immigration every 20 minutes requesting contact to the Danish sculptor. After ended interrogation Galschiot was escorted to the airplane.

*”I was escorted by 15 airport officials and a guy filmed the scene. It must have been a peculiar view. They were all circulating around me and conducted me in and out of lifts and through various backdoors. Finally a short bus trip brought me to the waiting plane which I boarded by a special staircase outside the boarding area. Presumably they were keen to avoid photo documentation of the expulsion. Maybe the authorities felt shameful of the perspective of having photos of the expulsion published in the media. Anyway, I was constantly filmed as long as was in charge of the immigration authorities. I don’t know for what purpose” – Jens Galschiot explains on his arrival in the airport of Copenhagen Sunday morning.

...

This expulsion makes me really angry! With the support from many of the parliament members of Hong Kong and from almost all parties of the Danish parliament and the Danish Consulate in Hong Kong, I have tried for months to get a clarification about whether I am unwanted in Hong Kong, because I would prevent this to happen. Dozens of letters in this case have been exchanged and kilometres of articles in the press have been written. Nothing has been hidden. All documents are published on my website and the director of Hong Kong’s migration authorities has personally told me that like all other EU citizens I have free entrance to Hong Kong.
