Foreigners detained over 'Free Tibet' protest at Olympic venue
BEIJING - Chinese police detained four foreigners near Beijing's Olympic Stadium on Wednesday after they unfurled giant "Free Tibet" banners, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Activist group Students for a Free Tibet said four activists from Britain and the United States managed to put up Tibetan flags and two 140-square-foot banners near Beijing's iconic "Bird's Nest" stadium.
The pressure group released pictures of activists tying the banners to an electricity pole with the Olympic village in the background.
The banners, which read in English "One World, One Dream: Free Tibet" and "Tibet Will Be Free", were up for an hour before Chinese police managed to bring them down, said a statement from the group.
