Onchan MHK Peter Karran has welcomed protest efforts to increase awareness of the plight of the people of Tibet at the hands of the Chinese Government.
The Beijing Olympics torch relay has been disrupted on its passage through both the UK and France as activists draw attention to the brutality taking place in Tibet.
Mr Karran (pictured) attempted - unsuccessfully - to make his own protest some years ago during a visit to the Island by the Chinese Ambassador to the UK:
Ramsey Commissioners to stop using AI images on website and social media
Juan McGuinness says it 'runs counter' to its support of local artists
Have your say about Isle of Man Post
Survey running until middle of January
Wildlife park animals to get extra treats on Christmas Day
Keepers try to provide extra enrichment activities for them
Setting a budget can help stop Christmas overspend, say financial advisors
Many people find themselves spending too much or using credit over the festive season
