PARIS HONOR DALAI LAMA HONORARY CITIZENSHIP
Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe conferred the city's honorary citizenship on the Dalai Lama today.
"I receive this distinction as a human being to defend human values, peace and non-violence"
The Dalai Lama had been named an honorary citizen of Paris on April 22, 2008, four months before the Beijing Olympics, a decision that enraged Chinese authorities. Last month China warned France not to make more "errors" on Tibet.
