Free Tibet

Yesterday some bad ass pro-Tibet activists with serious climbing skills scaled the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge and hung banners to protest the Olympic torch arrival in the city tomorrow. The three climbers stayed up there for a few hours until the signs were cut down. They are being charged with felony conspiracy because the bridge is federal property (boo).

We have been getting calls at the NLG office for weeks from Free Burma and Tibet groups asking for legal support. There are going to be people protesting China's policies happening all day long and right now we only have 6 legal observers (not enough).

Wish us luck.

P.S. I know I like to complain about all the work the crazy Bay Area activists make for me with their constant protesting but I am going to miss this stuff when I go.
