Beijing games organisers 'disgusted' by London protests

Organisers of the Beijing Olympics criticised protesters who tried to disrupt the torch relay in London, saying today that the actions were a “disgusting” form of sabotage by Tibetan separatists.

Demonstrators, many of them challenging China’s policies in Tibet and Darfur, tried to board a torch relay bus and also attempted to grab the torch during the procession yesterday. One protester tried to snuff out the flame with what appeared to be a fire extinguisher.
