Boycott China Olympis - Protesters rally before Olympic torch's arrival in San Francisco
Demonstrators rallied in Union Square Saturday to protest alleged human rights abuses in China ahead of the Olympic torch's arrival in San Francisco. More than 200 people took part in the "Human Rights Torch Relay," one of several protests planned before the Olympic torch makes its only North American appearance in San Francisco on Wednesday. Saturday's protest was part of international campaign organized by members of the Falun Gong spiritual movement that's banned in China. The Board of Supervisors recently passed a nonbinding resolution protesting China's human rights record and calling for an investigation into China's actions in Tibet and its treatment of dissidents.
