Beijing protest Britons released

Two Britons arrested in Beijing over a pro-Tibet protest before the Olympics have left China after being released. Their campaign group said Lucy Fairbrother, 23, and Iain Thom, 24, had sent text messages saying they were boarding a flight to Germany. Mr Thom, 24, from Edinburgh and Ms Fairbrother, 23, from Cambridge, and two US activists, were held after a protest near the Olympic stadium. A Beijing Olympics spokesman said the action was unacceptable and "illegal". Students for a Free Tibet said text messages sent by the Britons stated that they were getting on a flight to Frankfurt. However, it is not known when the pair will return to the UK. The campaign group named the American protesters on their website as Phill Bartell, 34, from New Jersey, and Tirian Mink, 32, from Portland, Oregon. The group added that Lucy Fairbrother is also known as Lucy Marion. The protesters scaled a 120ft-high (36.5m) lighting pole early on Wednesday morning and unfurled banners reading "One World, One Dream, Free Tibet" and "Tibet will be free". The action was timed before the arrival of the Olympic torch in Tiananmen Square. In London,a fellow campaigner from the group also held a protest to coincide with the one in Beijing. James Murray, 23, climbed suspension cables to reach a height of 100ft (30m) above the River Thames and unfurled a banner saying: "Beijing 2008: Make Olympic History: Free Tibet." In Beijing, Mr Thom spoke to the BBC by mobile phone while still suspended from the lighting pole. He said: "I'm here today because I've been a long-term Tibet activist and I feel like now is a really critical time for Tibet. "The Beijing Games have been used by the Chinese government as a propaganda tool to whitewash their human rights record in Tibet." Consular access The Olympics organising committee spokesman said the protest was "an illegal gathering". He added: "We want to express our strong opposition to this. China has relevant laws regarding protests and gatherings. We truly hope that foreigners coming to visit China will respect the relevant laws of China." The protest is under investigation, the British Embassy said. "We are in touch with the Chinese authorities and are requesting immediate consular access should this information be correct," a spokesman added. The Students for a Free Tibet group said further protests were likely during the games.

Lucy Fairbrother's mother Linda says she is concerned but proud
Dr Kerry Brown, an expert on Chinese issues with London-based think tank Chatham House, said the Chinese authorities would be "very nervous, obviously, because of the opening ceremony tomorrow and they don't want to spoil that". But Dr Brown added that if he was "brutally" honest, most Chinese were less concerned about the situation in Tibet than with their country's economy. Friends of the Earth confirmed that Mr Thom had worked for the organisation before leaving for Beijing. Proud parents Mr Thom's father, Brian, told the BBC he was proud of what his son had done. He said his son had sent him a text message to say he was fine and being treated well. Ms Fairbrother recently graduated from Bristol University and lives in London. Lucy's mother, Linda Fairbrother, said she spoke to her daughter a week ago. "Lucy is fighting for the freedom and democracy of Tibet and is doing what she feels is right, and what I feel is right," she said. "Obviously I'm worried - any parent would be - but I am certain that China would not resort to torture or abuse when the eyes of the world are upon them." Lucy had warned her parents that she would probably be arrested. The Olympic torch has travelled 87,000 miles (140,000 km) through six continents since leaving Greece in March. Its journey has been marked by protests about China's human rights record and its policies in Tibet. During the month in which the torch began its progress, protests flared in Tibet against Chinese rule before snowballing into the worst unrest in Tibet for 20 years. The Chinese Embassy could not be reached for comment.
