Five Tibet activists blockaded the front entrance of the Chinese Ethnic Culture Park, at the south end of the Olympic Park, at 12:30pm today. The five were behind locked bicycles across the entrance to the park, which prominently features an exhibit of Tibetan culture. They wore t-shirts reading "Free Tibet" and held a banner reading "Tibetans Are Dying for Freedom." A sixth activist, a Tibetan-Japanese woman, made a statement about what they were doing and the situation on the ground in Tibet.
