Coinciding with the launch of the Beijing Olympics, thousands of people around the world have protested against China's human rights policies.
Demonstrations focused on issues ranging from China's crackdown early this year in Tibet to its support for Burma's military junta. Tibetan exiles scuffled with police in New Delhi, India, and police in Nepal's capital Kathmandu detained hundreds of Tibetan refugees who tried to storm a Chinese consular office. In Paris, several hundred activists rallied outside the Chinese embassy carrying a banner depicting the Olympic rings as handcuffs. Protests also took place outside the Chinese embassies in Berlin and London.
