Olympic Torch Relay Plans for Tibet Postponed

 

The Olympic Torch relay, originally scheduled to travel through Tibet this week, have changed and organizes refuse to comment on when the torch will pass through the region.

 

Details of the flame’s arrival in Tibet have been shrouded in secrecy. Olympic organizers originally indicated the relay team was set to arrive in Tibet June 18 or 19, but announced Monday the Tibetan leg of the scheduled tour would be postponed.

 

Instead, the torch will travel this week through Xinjiang, a largely Muslim region of China.

 

Activists have used the world-wide tour of the Olympic flame to protest the Chinese government’s rule over Tibet. The Olympic torch is currently making its way through China before making its way to Beijing for the opening of the 2008 Olympic Games on Aug. 8.
