SAN FRANCISCO, April 7 — Three pro-Tibet demonstrators climbed cables on the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday to condemn China's government in advance of the Olympic torch's run through San Francisco.
The demonstrators unfurled a giant banner reading "One World, One Dream" and "Free Tibet 08", while at least one of the daredevil protesters could be seen carrying a Tibetan flag, television images showed.
Local media reported that four people had been arrested by California Highway Patrol while the three protesters remained suspended from the bridge.
Tourists snapped pictures of the protesters, who were apparently equipped with rock climbing gear to scale the iconic suspension bridge's cables.
The Golden Gate bridge shrouded in fog. "They are doing a really good job and nobody is stopping them," a bridge tour guide said as flocks of tourists snapped pictures of the protesters.
San Francisco is on tenterhooks ahead of the Olympic flame's procession through the city on Wednesday, which follows events in London and Paris severely disrupted by pro-Tibet protesters.
San Francisco police say an unprecedented security blanket will be in place for Wednesday's relay as they attempt to avoid a repeat of the chaotic scenes in Europe in the flame's only appearance on US soil.

Sure its easy to shout catchy slogans like "Free Tibet!" But you have to look deeper to see how China's future is completely dependent on Tibet's resources (namely water). The way China is treating Tibetans and their culture is horrible, but you have to look at the issue from both sides. Come on people, be logical, a few banners and protesters is NOT going to change the way a DIFFERENT country works. The CCP doesn't give a damn about you hippies, work with them to make the change.
