Thousands of anti-China protesters draped in Tibetan flags disrupted the Olympic torch relay on Sunday through London, billed as a journey of harmony and peace.
Chinese officials in blue tracksuits and scores of British police on foot and bicycles encircled the celebrities and athletes carrying the flame but demonstrators repeatedly broke through their security cordon.
One man grabbed the torch in west London before police wrestled him to the ground. The torch is en route to the 2008 Games that take place in Beijing from Aug. 8 to 24. The next Summer Olympics are in London in 2012.
Police said 25 people had been arrested four hours into the relay, several of them near Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Downing Street office where about 1,000 protesters gathered.
Brown greeted the torch behind Downing Street's closed steel gates in front of a vetted crowd as protesters scuffled with police outside and Beijing supporters waved Chinese flags and banged drums.
Campaigners are protesting against China's crackdown on pro-independence activists in Tibet and its human rights record. Falun Gong and the Burma Campaign are also demonstrating. |

I have just met a Tibetan guy who could make it here Kathmandu from Lhasa yesterday. He was in Lhasa from 8th to 19 of March, so he witnessed the Chinese brutality in Lhasa. All the Tibetans who dare going out are caught by the Chinese police. Now all the prisons in Tibet are full and they are transporting many Tibetans to China. Dead bodies are piled in prison cells with people who are still alive. Many of them are heavily wounded but none of them is getting any medical treatment. Many people are dying miserably slow death in prison cells. Some people committed suicide knowing that they would be killed inhumanly by the Chinese. Tibetans are tied up in lines at police stations in Lhasa and the police are doing all kinds of inhuman things on them. Human blood is flowing at all the police stations like slaughter houses. Even more horrible thing is that all the limbs of all the Tibetans who are caught by the Chinese are broken. Some Tibetans with all of their limbs broken were dropped at the door steps of their families. Many Tibetans think it's better to be dead than alive with all limbs broken. Now Tibetans live in walls and constant fear. Police are searching protesters door by door everyday. Some of them even can't get inside as they don't have proper papers. Every street and door are guarded by the police. All the monasteries around Lhasa are sealed and nobody is allowed to go in and out so people are running out of food supplies and starving but the Chinese only care about their so called stability and harmony. Yesterday they invited some Chinese brainwashed media persons in Lhasa to show how harmonious they are and how calm Lhasa city has become with all the Tibetans sealed inside walls. Many Tibetans suspect that the Chinese killed lots of people one night in front of Jokhang temple as there was constant gunfire whole night long and tanks were running all around.
So do you think the Chinese are harmonious enough to deserve an international game for peace? Don't you think you have moral responsibilities for your fellow humans who are dying for simply expressing their views? Don't you think you are silently supporting the brutality of China by just sitting there without saying anything at this moment?
So, please voice for the voiceless inside walls!!!
Stand up for those who can't at the brutal gun point!!!
Boycott Beijing Olympics for world peace!!!
