Tibet Supporters to Carry 'Peace Torch'

Activists supporting the rights of Tibetans plan to hold a demonstration to express their opposition to China's policy toward Tibet.

At a rally in central Seoul Wednesday, the group said 33 social figures who oppose Beijing's policy toward Tibet will carry a "peace torch" in a relay on April 27th. That's the same day the Olympic torch will also pass through central Seoul.

The activists also urged Seoul City to cancel all events aimed at celebrating the Beijing Olympic Games.

The Olympic flame is scheduled to arrive at Incheon International Airport early on April 27th before leaving for Sunan Airport in Pyongyang.
