Chinese police arrested five American protesters who blocked the entrance to a park in Beijing while shouting "Free Tibet!", Reuters reports. The demonstrators were associated with Students for a Free Tibet, who said there were eight in total. It remains unknown where the protesters have been taken.
A British television reporter also said he had been pushed and dragged into a police van, and was briefly detained there; the IOC said it would look into the incident. (More Students for a Free Tibet stories.)
