“A British man has been held by police in China after unfurling a pro-Tibet banner on a building in Beijing. Philip Kirk, 24, of St Albans, Herts, and Australian-Canadian Nicole Rycroft, 41, scaled the Central Television building to make their protest. The pair, from the group Students for a Free Tibet, and three other supporting protesters were detained on Friday. Han Shan, spokesman for the campaign group, said the banner read ‘Free Tibet’ in English and Chinese.” (08/15/08) Link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7562264.stm Filed under: LAND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
