WE, THE SOUTH AFRICAN FRIENDS OF TIBET CALL FOR A PLEDGE OF SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS OF HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA TO ENSURE AN INDEFINITE POSTPONEMENT OF THE JOHNANNESBURG PEACE CONFERENCE, AND CANCELLATION OF THE SCHEDULED MANDELA CUP SOCCER MATCH BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICA AND NORWAY.
Furthermore, in light of the disgraceful conduct of the South African government in refusing entry, under pressure from the government of the People's Republic of China, to H.H. Dalai Lama to attend the Johannesburg Peace Conference, the South African Friends of Tibet:
1. Calls on the Peace Conference organizers to postpone indefinitely the Johannesburg Peace Conference until H.H. Dalai Lama is able to attend. In this regard, the call is addressed particularly to the Organising Committee of the 2010 World Cup.
2. Calls on the Nobel Committee not to endorse or attend the Peace Conference until there is confirmation of the attendance of His Holiness.
3. Calls on the South African Nobel Peace Prize laureates to support the postponement of the conference, and not to attend if the conference takes place without H.H. Dalai Lama.
4. Calls on Mr Morgan Freeman and Ms Charlize Theron to support the postponement of the conference and not to attend if the conference takes place without H.H. Dalai Lama.
5. Calls on all conference invitees to boycott the conference in sympathy with H.H. Dalai Lama. until there is confirmation of the attendance of His Holiness.
6. Calls on the South African and Norwegian soccer teams to cancel the Mandela Cup match scheduled for Saturday 28th March, in sympathy with H.H. Dalai Lama.
7. As is clear to all, the debarring of H.H. Dalai Lama from the Johannesburg Peace Conference makes a sham of its intentions.
The Committee and Members of the South African Friends of Tibet

I find the idea of a Peace Conference the ultimate expression of kindness, yet how can One of the significance of the Dalai Lama be excluded from such an event, save for some strange ulterior motive
