Four Tibetan independence activists, including one Tibetan-American, demonstrated at Mount Everest’s main base camp in Tibet; unfurling a banner reading “One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 2008” in English, and “Free Tibet” in Tibetan and Chinese. The protest coincided with the International Olympic Committee’s deliberations on the final Beijing 2008 Olympic torch relay route and preempted a Chinese trial expedition to the summit with the Olympic torch.
