A TIBETAN protester jumped a plastic barrier and ran towards the Chinese embassy in Canberra during a demonstration today against human rights abuses in his homeland.
The man ran towards the embassy waving a Tibetan flag and shouting “shame, China, shame”.
He was tackled to the ground by Australian Federal Police and taken to a police van.
