4 held for protest on Mount Everest

BEIJING, China (AP) -- Three Americans and a Tibetan-American were detained on Mount Everest on Wednesday as they called for independence for Tibet and protested against the Beijing Olympics, an activist group said.

The protest was organized by Students for a Free Tibet, which said three people were taken away after holding up a banner at a base camp on the Tibetan side of the mountain that said "One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 2008."

The fourth person detained by Chinese authorities was a cameraperson, said the group's executive director Lhadon Tethong. "One World, One Dream" is the slogan of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee will announce the route for the 2008 Olympic torch relay in Beijing on Thursday. Chinese officials have said they want to take it to the top of the world's tallest mountain on the border between Nepal and Tibet.

"The Chinese government hopes to use the 2008 Olympic Games to conceal the brutality of its occupation of Tibet," Tethong said from the Nepalese capital, Katmandu.

A woman at the Tibet government office in Lhasa who gave her surname as Li said she was unclear about the protest. People who answered the telephone at the Tibet and Lhasa police offices also said they were not clear about the protest.

Tethong said three of the detained people were Americans and one was Tibetan-American. U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Susan Stevenson said privacy laws prevented her from commenting.

One of the protesters, reached by cell phone, said they had been well treated but did not know how long they would be held.

"We were questioned separately by police and they took our passports away," said Kierstan Westby of Boulder, Colorado.

She said they displayed the banner for about 30 minutes before local authorities took them away. "We are hoping they take us to the border and let us go."

Tethong said more than 70 Chinese climbers were in the base camp preparing for a trial climb to see if it is possible to take a torch to the top of 8,850-meter (29,035-foot) Mount Everest.

"One of the key points for the Chinese in their Olympic propaganda is to show happy Tibetans. They are very much using the Olympics, so we are also using it to call for an independent Tibet," Tethong said.

China says it has ruled Tibet for centuries, although many Tibetans say they were essentially an independent state for most of that time. Chinese communist troops occupied Tibet in 1951 and Beijing continues to rule the region with a heavy hand.

Taking the Olympic torch to the top of Mount Everest is seen by some as way for Beijing to underscore its claims to Tibet.

"The International Olympic Committee has no business promoting the Chinese government's political agenda by allowing the torch to be run through Tibet," Tethong said.

Hein Verbruggen, head of the IOC Coordination Commission overseeing the Beijing Games, tried to stay above the fray.

"We don't want to be, as the IOC, involved in any political issues," Verbruggen said. "It's not our task. We are here for organizing the Games."

He said the Olympics were a positive force in China. "We feel that bringing the Games here ... will be beneficial for the social and economic development of this country."

Tethong said Students for a Free Tibet has 650 chapters in more than 30 countries and has about 20,000 members.

Maybe Nehru and all the North Indian holy warriors had done anything to stem the tide in Tibet in the fifties things would've been different.
