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:
Procedures at Noble's Hospital cancelled due to 'significant pressures'
Manx Care experiencing 'very high demand'
Medical Society calls for 'statutory elected body' as chief exec exits Manx Care
IOMMS says it's 'essential that the momentum for fundamental reform is maintained'
Cope out: How did we get here?
Manx Care's five-year history broken down
Teresa Cope: Reaction as Manx Care CEO steps down
What comes next for the Island's healthcare provider?
