Since the start of the Olympics a few protests have occurred in Beijing but they were quickly halted by Chinese security forces. Seven Americans and a Japanese national were detained after protesting against China's policy on Tibet near the main Olympics venue. And, at least a dozen "Free Tibet" and Christian activists have been deported for demonstrating around Tiananmen Square. Beijing has designated three parks for protests during the Olympics, but so far no demonstrations have taken place in these designated areas. VOA's Brian Padden reports from Beijing.
