Dalai Lama Honors Herge Foundation



The Herge Foundation will be presented the International Campaign for Tibet's Light of Truth award by the Dalai Lama at a ceremony June 1. The foundation is being honored for the legacy of Tintin in Tibet as a way millions of people have heard about the country, and blocking a 2001 attempt by China officials to release an altered verson of the book, roughly called Tintin in China's Tibet.

The other honoree is the Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Past winners include Vaclev Havel, Elie Wiesel and Richard Gere.
