“How can Beijing be allowed to host the Olympics given that they are committing a genocide against the Uyghurs?” one protester said.
Three activists protesting the human rights abuses in China broke into the archaeological site where the flame lighting ceremony for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was being held on Monday and ran toward the Temple of Hera holding a banner that read “No genocide games.”
The protesters climbed over a fence to enter the grounds and attempted to reach the area where the ceremony was being held. They were thrown to the ground by the police and were detained.
