Poet takes China officials to court
25 July 2008
Al Jazeera English has filed this story on YouTube about Tibetan poet, author and blogger Woeser, who this week announced she's suing the Chinese Government because they won't give her a passport.
Woeser, whose books and poems are banned in China, says authorities told her they wouldn't give her a passport because she's a threat to national security.
She told Al Jazeera she is suing now, just days out from the Olympics, because:
" …"The Chinese Government has not kept it's promises, quite the contrary, in strict terms it has kidnapped the Olympic Games, because it is using the Olympics as a big platform to demonstrate its power." …"
