China's envoy may pull out of London relay



LONDON, England (AP) -- China's ambassador to London may pull out of the Olympic torch relay planned for this weekend, officials at the Chinese Embassy said Thursday.
Ambassador Fu Ying had been due to be one of the 80 people carrying the Olympic flame across the British capital on Sunday, and her participation had drawn the ire of pro-Tibet groups angry at China's clampdown on protesters there.
The British Broadcasting Corp. said Ying had already pulled out, but the Chinese Embassy said only that she was weighing her options.
"I cannot confirm or deny the report," embassy spokesman Liu Weimin said, explaining that Ying had been assigned to accompany a Chinese delegation on its visit to London.
"She's been instructed to be with the delegation this weekend, but she is still trying to see whether she can meet both demands."
A second official at the embassy reached later Thursday refused to provide any further detail.
The torch, lit at Olympia, Greece, and carried around the world in the run-up to the Olympic Games, has been a flashpoint for demonstrators venting their frustration at Beijing's treatment of its ethnic minorities in Tibet and elsewhere.
The torch lighting ceremony last month was disrupted by a protester who ran up behind a top Chinese official giving a speech, while demonstrators gathered Thursday in Istanbul, Turkey, to protest China's human rights record as the torch was carried through the city.
Protests also are planned in London, and police said they were deploying about 2,000 officers to guard the torch as it makes its way along its 31 mile- (50 kilometer-) route.
In India on Thursday police said they will impose tight security when the Olympic torch passes through New Delhi later this month.
Rajan Bhagat, the main spokesman for the Delhi police, said all participants will be issued special identification cards and that spectators will be kept at a "proper distance and frisked."
There are concerns that Tibetan exiles in India may use the event to highlight their opposition to Chinese rule in Tibet and to protest Beijing's crackdown on anti-China demonstrations in the region.
The Free Tibet Campaign, one of the groups planning to demonstrate Sunday, said it welcomed news that the Chinese ambassador was considering staying out of the ceremony.
"Clearly it shows that China, for the first time in a long time, is on the defensive about Tibet," Free Tibet spokesman Matt Whitticase said.
A spokeswoman for the London torch event referred all questions back to the Chinese Embassy.

中国大使可能缺席伦敦火炬接力
中国大使馆的官员在周二说，中国在伦敦的大使有可能缺席本周末的奥运火炬传递。
中国大使傅莹是上周日在英国首都传递奥运火炬的80人之一。他的出现激起了支持西藏的组织对中国对抗议者压制的愤怒。BBC称傅莹已经决定不再参加火炬传递，但是中国大使馆说她正在权衡她的决定。
大使馆发言人刘伟敏（音译）解释傅莹被安排去陪同一个来伦敦的中国代表团时说：“我既不能确认也不能否认报道。她被通知在周末要去陪同一个代表团，但她仍然在尝试是否能两方面都能顾及到。”

在周四晚些时候第二个被联系到的大使馆官员拒绝再透露任何进一步的细节。
在希腊奥林匹亚点燃，并作为奥运会前奏来在世界各地传递的火炬已经成了示威者发泄其对北京对待西藏和其他地方少数民族的方式的不满的焦点。
上个月的火炬点燃仪式在一个中国高官正在作演讲的时候被一个抗议者破坏。同时示威者们于周四聚集在土耳其的伊斯坦布尔，在火炬传递的时候抗议中国的人权记录。

抗议活动也计划在伦敦被举行。一名警察说已经配置了2000警力来在50公里的传递路线上保卫火炬。
周二在印度警察说他们将在本月晚些奥运火炬通过新德里的时候严密地确保安全。

Rajan Bhagat, 新德里警察局的主要发言人说所有的参与者都被配发特殊身份证明卡片，而且观众会被保持在一个“适当的距离并且被搜查”。
他们担心在印度的西藏流亡者会利用本次活动来突出自己作为中国在西藏统治对立者的角色，并且抗议北京在那一地区对于反对中国示威的镇压。

一个计划在周日示威的自由西藏运动组织说他们欢迎中国大使考虑不参加典礼的新闻。
自由西藏发言人 Matt Whitticase 说：”很明显这标明了中国第一次在很长时间以来在西藏问题上处于防守位置。“
