An official of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games has strongly criticized the attempt by some "pro-Tibet independence" activists to sabotage the torch relay event in London.

The official said the actions of the activists defy the Olympic spirit and, as the highest symbol of this spirit, the Olympic flame represents peace, friendship and progress.

He said the torch is on a journey symbolizing harmony all around the world and sharing the passion and glory of the Olympics with the world.
