Olympic Games07/04 13:20 CET IOC: "Serious concerns" after London
Olympic demos
The Olympic flame has already proved a potent attraction for
protesters, angry about China's human rights record, and the crackdown
on pro-independence activists in Tibet and neighbouring regions.

On the London-leg of the relay, the torch and its bearers were
constantly badgered and harassed by a seemingly endless flow of
demonstrators, keen to embarrass this year's Olympic hosts in Beijing,
and the Games' organisers.

The Olympic flame's world tour, billed as a harmonious journey, has
already struck a discordant note. After seeing the thousands of
protesters waving Tibetan flags in London, the President of the
International Olympic Committee expressed his concern. Speaking in
Beijing, Jacques Rogge said the IOC is calling for a rapid and
peaceful resolution in Tibet.
