A Tibetan "independence torch" unveiled has arrived in New Delhi from Dharamsala on its first leg of a journey around the world before the Olympics in Beijing. The torch was received by a gathering of 200 Tibetan refugees outside the Jantar Mantar monument in central Delhi. (DPA, April 4)
Meanwhile, a "Human Rights Torch Relay," kicked off with a rally in San Francisco's Union Square April 5. (AP, April 5) On April 2, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed 8-3 a controversial resolution sponsored by Chris Daly stating that the city receives the Olympic torch with "alarm and protest at the failure of China to meet its past solemn promises to the international community, including the citizens of San Francisco, to cease the egregious and ongoing human rights abuses in China and occupied Tibet." It has yet to be signed by Mayor Gavin Newsom (San Mateo Daily Journal, April 2)
