Hundreds of protesters demanding the independence of Tibet marched through the streets of London today. At least 500 joined the protest and shouted 'China out' and 'Free Tibet' as they stopped for a short while outside the Chinese Embassy. There was a significant police presence, but there was no signs of trouble throughout the demonstration. TV crews from Sky News, BBC and ITN covered the event, however very little footage made it to air. Sky News showed only a few seconds, while the BBC report ran for a little over one minute. Many of the demonstrators called for a boycott of the Olympic games, a call that has become louder over recent days [BBC / Sky News].
