Switzerland is home to the biggest Tibetan community in Europe, numbering almost 4,000. They fled their homeland after the Chinese invasion in 1959. They are now preparing for a visit from their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, to mark the 50th anniversary of their arrival here. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)
