Group of Tibetan protesters disrupt Beijing 2022 Olympic bid inside and outside Lausanne hotel

Published May 03, 2016

A small group of Tibetan protesters have disrupted a presentation of Beijing's bid plans for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

A handful of protesters chanted slogans and carried banners outside the luxury hotel in Lausanne on Wednesday. They were held back by security officials.

Three others managed to get inside the hotel, and one man got into the room where Chinese officials were displaying Beijing's bid plans to the media.

The man was quickly dragged away, while two other protesters unfurled flags in the lobby. All three were taken away by police.

The protesters chanted "Free Tibet" and "No More Bloody Games."

Beijing is competing against Almaty, Kazakhstan. The protests came a day after both cities made formal presentations to IOC members at the Olympic Museum.
