guest of the Chinese government. Chinese state media reported comments by him praising China's work in Tibet and criticising Western media. The conference organisers published a "Lhasa Consensus" document supporting the position and policy of the Chinese government regarding Tibet. According to the document, it was endorsed by all participants in the forum. Shortly after, a number of Western participants disassociated themselves from the 'Consensus', stating that they were unaware it would be represented as having their support. Lord Davidson did not respond to Western media enquiries regarding the accuracy of the comments attributed to him and seeking clarification of his position regarding the Lhasa Consensus. His participation, reported comments and subsequent refusal to make further comment were strongly criticised by Free Tibet, who noted that during his visit to Tibet, security forces fired on a demonstration in another region of Tibet, fatally injuring four protesters.
