Australia: Olympic torch arrives in Australia under tight security Wed. April 23, 2008 02:25 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) As the Olympic torch arrived in Australia under tight security, pro-Tibetan protesters beamed laser signs onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Wednesday reading "Don't Torch Tibet" and "China, talk to the Dalai Lama". Meanwhile, thousands of protesters have pledged to hold a peaceful rally in Canberra during the torch relay, and thousands of Chinese students were also expected to hold a pro-China rally. A group of Tibetans on hunger strike continued a 40 mile march to the capital. Media reports said the Chinese embassy had hired 20 buses to bring in supporters from other cities and counter protesters. Hundreds of extra police have been called in to protect the torch, which will be carried through closed-off and barricaded streets on Thursday, with authorities determined to avoid the chaos that disrupted the relay in Europe and the United States.-Agencies News Category: Sports Latest Headlines Latest News India: Army officer, seven guerrillas killed in fierc...
