No protests, China warns foreigners

Chinese authorities warned foreign activists yesterday that they will not be permitted to stage protests over Tibet and other sensitive issues during next year's Beijing Olympics.

Liu Shaowu, the deputy head of security for the Olympics, said that under China's Constitution foreigners as well as Chinese were guaranteed the right to demonstrate. But matters concerning the sovereignty of China or other nations were taboo for protesters expected to gather in Beijing during the Games.
