Pro-Tibet protesters scale Golden Gate Bridge in SF

By at 2:57 pm Monday, Apr 7


Seven pro-Tibetan sovereignty activists were detained by police in San Francisco this afternoon after 3 of the protesters climbed the Golden Gate Bridge, unfurling a banner that read "One World, One Dream, Free Tibet '08."

The three climbers remained on the bridge for about 2 hours before coming down voluntarily. Upon their descent they were met and arrested by officers of the California Highway Patrol.

This action takes place two days before scheduled protests of China's Olympic torch relay in SF, which are expected to draw thousands of participants. (thanks Nathan)
