DETROIT (AP) -- About 40 human rights activists marched in Detroit to protest what they call human rights abuses by the Chinese government or those supported by it.
Jeanmarie Lunsford is a spokeswoman for the Human Rights Torch Relay, which has held similar demonstrations in other cities in advance of the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
She says yesterday's protest was directed against China's government, not the Olympics.
The group accuses China of human rights abuses including a government crackdown on protesters in Tibet ... support for corrupt regimes in Darfur and Myanmar ... and persecution of Christians, lawyers and others who oppose the government.
