Beijing - A Beijing Olympic official on Sunday strongly criticised attempts by some pro-Tibet activists to disrupt the torch relay in London, state news reported.

An unnamed spokesperson from the torch relay centre of the Beijing Olympic Organising Committee was quoted as saying the Olympic flame represented peace, friendship and progress, the state Xinhua news agency said.

Attempts to "sabotage" the relay in London were "an obvious act of defying the Olympic spirit", he added, the agency reported.
