Olympic Torch Relay Draws Protest in San Francisco 
Thousands of protesters demonstrated against China's human rights record and its crackdown in Tibet after the Olympic torch arrived in San Francisco on Tuesday, April 8, 2008. The protests came after demonstrations in London and Paris in which protesters tried to snuff the torch's flame and dozens were arrested. Beijing organizers have said the month-long international relay will not be stopped despite the protests, but some International Olympic Committee members have suggested an early end should be considered.
