Olympics-Protests in Athens as Beijing prepares for Games flame
Greek police detained two human rights activists after they unfurled banners at the Athens Acropolis on Sunday opposing the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics as China’s Games organisers prepare to receive the Olympic flame. The protest was made hours before a dress rehearsal in Greece’s Olympia, site of the ancient Olympics, of the torch-lighting ceremony for the Games set for Monday. Greek police, with several dozen officers present, were quick to stop the activists.
