The Toronto Sun’s front page: “Two students take down the Chinese flag and replace it with the flag of Tibet at the Chinese consulate on St. George St. yesterday. About 1,000 Tibetan demonstrators cried and cheered during the protest, held to spotlight human rights issues in advance of the Beijing Olympics. The students — whose faces have been blurred because of the youth criminal justice act — were charged with mischief and released. (Dave Abel/Sun Media)“
