Bhutanese in Germany invite RKD Posted: 28 Dec 2009 11:48 PM PST Dec 28: Following the latest verdict of an Indian court to allow Rongthong Kinley Dorji to travel anywhere freely, his party cadres and fellow-countrymen in Germany have invited him to Europe. “We, the DNC members and supporters in Europe, are overwhelmed with the decision,” said Tshring Penjor from Germany,” We’ll make preparations for his visit to Europe.” According to Penjore, they are working to facilitate Dorji to attend the 13th Human Rights Council meeting in March 2010, where Bhutan is making clarifications on the questions and recommendations tabled earlier this month. The Bhutanese based in Germany have made such decision at the moment when Tandin Wangdi, a supporter of DNC, received political asylum from the German authority. Talking to BNS over telephone, Germany-based Durga Giri expressed that Dorji played a crucial role in pressuring the concerned authority in granting asylum to Tandin. “We must thank the Indian judicial system for providing justice to a Bhutanese freedom fighter,” Giri told BNS. |
