China 'forced Miss Tibet to quit' (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

The Tibetan entrant in an international beauty pageant in Malaysia has blamed China for her expulsion from the event.

Tsering Chungtak said that China pressured the competition organisers to replace her "Miss Tibet" sash with one reading "Miss Tibet-China".

When she refused, she claims, she was told she would have to leave the Miss Tourism Queen 2007 competition.

China governs Tibet as an autonomous region and swiftly clamps down on any suggestion of Tibetan nationalism.

Miss Chungtak, who is an ethnic Tibetan living in Delhi, said that to take part in the competition wearing the sash would be have been "unacceptable".
