Peter Tatchel a gay rights activist protesting the Beijing Olympics and the torch parade in London today, was detained after he jumped in front of the VIP vehicle carrying the Olympic Torch.
"Mr. Tatchell was protesting the arrest and imprisonment last week of Chinese human rights activist Hu Jia, an Aids activist working in China’s gay community and beyond, who was convicted for ‘inciting subversion of state power’ by the Beijing Municipal No 1 Intermediate People’s Court and sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment."
Tatchel is picture here (right) during an action in Moscow. He is about to get punched.
