China rebukes US over human rights comment
Wednesday, 27 August 2008
Beijing issued a stern rebuke yesterday to the United States after it expressed disappointment over China's human rights image during the Olympics, saying US citizens broke the law during the event.
The remarks came after China on Sunday deported a group of pro-Tibet activists -- eight them Americans -- detained in Beijing following several protests that coincided with the Olympics.
On Monday White House spokesman Tony Fratto expressed disappointment at China's handling of protests during the Games, saying it had missed an opportunity to improve its global human rights image.

Denver Protestors Arrested, Mased
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 by Connie T
Chaos ensued in Denver, Colorado on Monday when anti-war protestors outside the Democratic National Convention were doused with pepper spray by police for marching in the streets...
Police in riot gear arrested about 100 people from the streets, claiming they were disrupting traffic near the Denver City and County Building. The only warning they were given before police used force was "3, 2, 1." Rubber pellets and batons were also used by police.
