Chinese activists detained on way to church

Five Tibet activists were taken away by Chinese security agents today after protesting during the Olympic Games, hours after a Christian activist was detained on his way to a church service in Beijing attended by US President George Bush.

Padma-Dolma Fielitz, a 21-year-old Tibetan woman from Germany, and another activist held Tibet’s national flag aloft just outside the south entrance of Tiananmen Square, according to a statement by Students for a Free Tibet.
