One World, One Dream: I Was Detained For Tibet

Sam Price was among six activists who were detained by Chinese
authorities on August 7 for his role in an action designed to raise
awareness about the continuing plight of Tibet. He and fellow members
of Students For A Free Tibet
unfurled a flag on the Great Wall of China, which read: "One World, One
Dream: Free Tibet," and they were swiftly detained. Price says there
was some unease about how Chinese authorities would react, but it was a
small price to pay, considering the people of Tibet are silenced when
they try to speak for themselves. He says China never should have
received the 2008 Olympics, due to continuing human rights violations,
but SFT saw China's celebrations as a chance to draw media scrutiny
into the Tibet situation. Chinese military moved into Tibet in 1951.
Sam Price and fellow protesters were detained for less than two days
before being swiftly deported. Read his story at http://www.orato.com/node/3297.
