Tibetan leader defends Dalai Lama's 'innocent' actions against China's accusations.

A top Tibetan leader defended the Dalai Lama over his "suck my tongue" comment to a boy, saying it was "innocent" and that the actions of the Buddhist high priest were misinterpreted. The head of the Tibetan government-in-exile added that the widespread global outrage sparked by the video had "hurt" the followers of the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama apologized for the incident and said he often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras.
