Olymic torch arrived in China under protest shadows
Mar 31st, 2008 | Category:Breaking News, World NewsThe Beijing Olympic torch has been welcomed by the cheering children in the Chinese capital on Monday after attempts by pro-Tibet protesters in Athens to block its path.
Exiled Tibetans & human rights activists have targeted the Olympics since China poured security forces into Tibet & parts of western China to suppress anti-government protests.
The torch was escorted off a plane emblazoned with “Journey of Harmony” & passed to officials in a tightly choreographed display outside a gleaming new airport terminal where groups of children waved Chinese & Olympic flags.
