Tibetan exiles burn effigy of Chinese president

Dozens of Tibetan exiles burned an effigy of Chinese President Hu Jintao as they reached the Indian capital New Dehli today carrying a symbolic flame which they said would burn along with the official torch for the Beijing Olympic games.

“Long live the Dalai Lama” and “Stop killings in Tibet,” the protesters chanted during a demonstration held near India’s parliament.
