Olympic: IOC Condamn China brutal abuse UK Journalist Rights

John Ray, the China correspondent for ITN, says he was "roughed up" by officers during the incident, near the Bird's Nest stadium.

He was driven away in a police van before being released, the British Embassy confirmed.

The incident started when activists hung a "Free Tibet" banner in the Chinese Ethnic Culture Park, said human rights group Students For A Free Tibet.

Ray was dragged into a nearby restaurant and held down by officers who also stamped on his hands, onlookers said.

Speaking by telephone from the back of the police van, he said: "I have been roughed up. They dragged me, pulled me and knocked me to the ground. Now they are filming me.
