John Flajnik (left) and Matt Kozuch (right), members of Students for a Free Tibet from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, were arrested this afternoon in an act of civil disobedience at the Chinese Embassy.
The act is part of a week-long effort called the “Mobilization for Tibet” intended to draw attention to the issue before President Bush leaves on Friday for Asia and his first official state meeting in Beijing with Jiang Zemin on February 21 and 22.
Daily protests and acts of civil disobedience will continue every day at noon until Friday, February 15. Today’s arrests bring the total to four since the Mobilization for Tibet began on Monday.
