Olympic High Pressure

Another example of the sort of Olympics-related protests we have mentioned will be increasingly common. This one was at the base camp for Mount Everest and about Tibet. See the story here unless you are in China (in which case you should have figured out how to slip around the Great Firewall by proxy anyway). There’s also a video on youtube with the Tibetan narrator gasping authentically in the thin air. As I have said, it will be interested to see how the Beijing responds when this kind of thing becomes practically a daily event in the months before the Games.
