 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Protesters in Australia burned Chinese flags on Tuesday, demanding freedom for Tibet, following similar demonstrations in Europe and the U.S. against Beijing's crackdown on anti-government riots in the Himalayan region.
In Sydney, about 100 Tibetan immigrants and supporters, many of them weeping, waved flags, photos of the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, and signs calling for freedom for Tibet. They demanded that Chinese authorities stop killing their countrymen.
The protesters also burned Chinese flags while more than 20 police kept order outside the Chinese consulate in Australia's largest city.
