 BERLIN (AP) - Actor Richard Gere on Monday urged Germany, which currently holds the European Union and G-8 presidencies, to press China about human rights and Tibet.
Gere, 57, a longtime advocate of the Tibetan cause, argued at a news conference that the twin presidency marks "a historic moment for Germany to step forward."
"This is a moment of great possibility for ... not just punishing but encouraging China to become part of the modern world," he said. "Tibet should be ever-present in any discussion with China."
