LIGHT A FLAME

Tibet protesters disrupt torch lighting

PROTESTERS have disrupted the lighting of the Olympic Torch as the Tibetan crisis increasingly threatens to stain Beijing's Olympic Games.
The torch was lit in Greece as protesters used the event to draw attention to the plight of the captive region of Tibet, which China has controversially controlled for decades .Three demonstrators breached security around the site of Ancient Olympia to unfurl a flag demanding a boycott of the Olympics and shout slogans denouncing China's human rights record.
