"Olympics is not only about muscles", says the banner.

"Human rights will win", says the banner in the back of the picture.

"The Czech Olympic Committee should remember that our athletes represent a country that has suffered from Nazis and communist totalitarian regime over 60 years. They should say they stand by Tibet and for other oppressed peoples in the world," says HR activist Stanislav Penc.

The demonstration, organized by People in Need foundation and Amnesty International, started at 2 pm in Opletalova Street and ended up in a park in front of the Prague Main Rail Station where a concert took place.
