Nagano, Japan

A Tibetan flag is displayed next to a picture of Zenkoji temple during a pro-Tibet demonstration in the central Nagano city on April 25, 2008 a day before the Beijing Olympic torch relay. Protesters April 25 waved the Tibetan flag and denounced China’s rulers as the Beijing Olympic torch came to Japan for the latest leg of a worldwide relay marred by demonstrations.
