Tibet flag case

The Tibet flag case (Danish: Tibetsagen, pronounced [tsʰiˈpe̝ˀtˌsɛˀjn̩]) concerns police action taken in relation to two demonstrations in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2012 and 2013 against former Chinese Communist Party general secretary Hu Jintao's state visit.

[6][7][8] The Danish Chairman of the Support Committee for Tibet organization, Anders Højmark, said in an article on 20 December 2014, "It is disappointing that the government will not meet with the Tibetan Buddhist leader Dalai Lama when he visits Denmark in February next year".

[9] In the autumn of 2015, Minister of Justice Søren Pind proclaimed the formation of a commission (colloquially, Tibetkommissionen) to investigate the events of the 2012 demonstration.

[10] In 2018, it was reported that "Anders Højmark Andersen, chairman of the Tibet Support Committee, is pleased to note that the Copenhagen Police believe that up to 200 people can claim compensation in the Tibetan case.

(...) is stated in a document from the Minister of Justice Søren Pape Poulsen (...) Andersen is one of the eight people who were awarded compensation of DKK 20,000 in the case earlier in April.
