China is set to host the annual Miss World pageant on December 19, in the city of Sanya, on Hainan Island. If the host nation gets its way, one contestant won't be there: Miss World Canada Anastasia Lin, who was barred from entering the nation and was denied a visa by the pageant organizers. She was able to travel to Hong Kong, but was not allowed on her flight to mainland China. Lin is a human rights activist and has spoken out about China's rights abuses and lack of religious freedom, and she believes she is being punished for these views. Lin was born in China, but moved to Canada when she was 13 and is now a Canadian citizen. Canadian citizens are permitted to obtain a landing visa when they arrive in Sanya.....snip~ http://townhall.com/tipsheet/christ...ering-country-for-miss-world-pageant-n2085895 Seems China doesn't like getting Highlighted for actions they take. Per the article.....what is odd, is that there is no support coming from the Miss World Organization. What say ye?
