Police in China detained Chinese and foreign activists for protesting at the Neijing Olympics. Apparently there are designated areas for protest in China and one must submit an application and be accepted in order to protest. The five men, two women and teenage girl were arrested and sentances to 10 days of detention. The government was only going to allow 3 areas for protest. the actovosts had filled out an application to protest and the government said it was open, but they said the security made it extremely difficult to do what they were there to do.
i think that it is dumb that they have to ask permission to protest that is the whole point of protest. DAMN THE MAN! thats what its all about. it completely deffeats the purpose. thank goodness i dont live in china, there would probably be a public hanging and my family would have to watch on you tube or something.
