Well first off I'd like to give the link to the SaveDarfur.org website where you can go and download the Save Darfur sign that says extinguish the flames. Take a picture of yourself holding the sign and then upload it to the website and they will display the pictures during the torch relay in San Fransisco this Wednesday. Extinguish The Flames!!!
Here's a video of protesters demonstrating against Chinese human rights violations at the Olympic torch relay in Paris. Security officials had to put the torch out several times and transport the torch by bus because the protesters were so adamant.
Here's a slideshow with pictures from people scaling the Golden Gate bridge in anticipation of the relay on Wednesday, and some images of the other protests that have been going on.
Protest Slideshow
Protests have taken place in London as well as Paris and according to MSN.com it is expected that there will be protests on the rest of the 21 stop tour through May 4th. Hopefully, if nothing else these protests will open China's eyes on there violations of human rights in Tibet and by financing the Genocide in Darfur. If nothing else maybe they will start to make some changes just to avoid the bad press. I sure hope so.
