Free Tibet movement spreads

Mar. 21 - Students march in India as the Free Tibet movement spreads - to the embarrassment of China.

Last week a group of about 100 marchers were detained by police on orders of the Indian government, but a second group, which picked up the route from where the first group was stopped, has been allowed to go ahead. The marchers are planning to get to Tibet via New Delhi, where they hope to coincide with the arrival of the Olympic torch as it passes through the Indian capital.
