The Dalai Lama arrived in Taipei yesterday as his nephew said the government had put a “gag order” on the exiled religious leader out of fears of Beijing’s reaction.

The Dalai Lama traveled on a high-speed train from Kaohsiung after two days focused on the plight of communities devastated by Typhoon Morakot last month.

Taiwan Friends of Tibet (TFOT) yesterday accused the Grand Hotel of dishonesty in their handling of a row over the cancelation of a conference room to be used for a press conference and the organization said it would consider filing a lawsuit against the hotel.

The TFOT and the Grand Hotel were involved in a dispute on Monday when the hotel unilaterally canceled a reservation for a conference room hours before a press conference was scheduled to start. The TFOT suspected the room reservation was canceled for political reasons, as a Chinese delegation headed by Sichuan Province Governor Jiang Jufeng (蔣巨峰) was to take part in a symposium on business and tourism in the province at the hotel on the same day.
