HONG KONG — Three pro-Tibet activists who planned to protest during Hong Kong’s leg of the Olympic torch relay were deported after they arrived at the territory’s airport Tuesday, activists said.
The Hong Kong leg of the torch relay on Friday is a high-stakes event because it marks the flame’s homecoming to Chinese soil after a world tour tarnished by protests.
Also Tuesday, Nepal said it deported American mountaineer William Brant Holland of Midlothian, Va., for bringing a “Free Tibet” banner to the Mount Everest base camp.
