BEIJING (AP) - China detained four Americans on Mount Everest Wednesday after they called for independence for Tibet and protested the Beijing Olympics, an activist group said.
Students for a Free Tibet said three Americans 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 filming the protest, said the group's executive director Lhadon Tethong.
