From Australia’s The Age newspaper comes word that China is banning patriotic banners and signs during the Olympic games next month. The move is designed to stamp out (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24025954-5014240,00.html) pro-Tibet displays in the stadiums:
AUSTRALIAN fans will be forbidden from waving banners supporting their Olympic heroes at the Beijing Games.
In yet another curb on personal freedoms for next month’s Olympics, Games chiefs have banned banners and posters from all competition venues.
The new rule, contained in an official spectator guide book, is aimed at stopping pro-Tibet demonstrators embarrassing China by unfurling placards at events during the the Games.
