Pro-Tibetan protesters unfurled banners in Thessaloniki shortly before the Olympic torch relay arrived in the city yesterday. About a dozen protesters, gathered in the square in this northern Greek city, with banners reading: «China is not worthy of the flame,» and «China stop killing Tibet.»
The protesters were wearing T-shirts with 'Free Tibet' written across
the front. The flame arrived in Thessaloniki later without any problems
and hundreds of people turned out in the city's central Aristotelous
square, where the Olympic flame spent the night. Police are now bracing for possible protests in Athens where the torch relay is due at the weekend, before it is flown to China. The flame will spend Saturday night at the Acropolis and be handed over to Chinese organizers on Sunday at the Panathenian Stadium, where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896.
