    He was sent back for his stupid naiveté. He should have disguised it or sewn it into the internal lining of his jacket. Remember, wherever you are in the world today, you must not offend the tolerant and freedom-loving Chinese nation.

    He did not offend anyone,particularly China.The banner says"Free Tibet",it does not mention anything about China or other country(lol).Anyway even India is "frightened" when you mention China,let alone Nepal.

    A 2 year ban! Very extreme in my opinion. What a great way for Nepal to show weakness.

    "he merely intended the banner to be a sort of prop for his summit picture... he did not intend to embarrass Chinese torchbearers"

    This is pathetic in the extreme.

    The true test of whether Nepal is truly concerned about safety or is simply kissing China's hindquarters is to try to enter Nepal with a Chinese flag stuffed into your luggage. After all, both the Chinese and Tibrean Flags have been prominent in the demonstrations worldwide.

    At least it's clear on which side Nepal's bread is buttered...
