(ANSAmed) - PALERMO, SEPTEMBER 18 - Migrants and refugees
must "not be discriminated against on the basis of their skin
colour or religion", the Dalai Lama has told journalists in
Palermo.
"They are the object of the exercise of our compassion," the
spiritual leader added.
"From the outset of the crisis we should have thought of
migrants as brothers and sisters who are facing huge problems
and give them refuge," he continued.
"We must take them in. The host countries should offer
education for the children, while older people should be given
technological training so they are able to return, with ongoing
support from the countries that took them in," the Dalai Lama
said. (ANSAmed).
