중국 정부가 티베트에서의 반중국 시위를 조사하기 위해 티베트를 방문하게 해달라는 유엔 인권고등판무관의 요청을 거부했습니다.
루이즈 아버 유엔 인권고등판무관의 대변인은 중국 정부가 아버 판무관이 현시점에서 티베트를 방문하는 것이 편리하지 않으며, 양측이 모두 편리할 때 아버 판무관의 티베트 방문을 환영하겠다고 밝혔다고 전했습니다.

China has rejected a request by the top United Nations human rights official to visit Tibet to look into anti-Chinese protests there.
A spokesman Rupert Colville for Louise Arbour, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, says Chinese authorities say it is not convenient at this time for her to visit. He added Chinese officials say Arbour is welcome to visit at a later date that would be mutually convenient.
Aside from a few supervised tours for journalists and diplomats, China has locked down Tibet and allowed little access to the Himalayan region and other Tibetan areas since a crackdown began in March.
Restrictions were originally supposed to be lifted on May first, but now the Associated Press is reporting that China has reversed that decision and may apply further delays.
