Русская версияWashington's top diplomat in China has pressed the government to
immediately free foreign pro-Tibet activists jailed for protesting
during the Olympics.
He also criticized Beijing for failing to use
the games to show greater tolerance and openness. Chinese police
have sentenced at least 10 foreigners to 10 days in jail for
protesting during the games, including eight Americans, a German
and a British citizen. British and US officials are seeking the
quick release of their citizens. In Nepals capital Katmandu, around
2,000 exiled Tibetans have protested against the Chinese rule in
their homeland. They were granted official permission on condition
they did not go near the Chinese embassy.
