A pro-democracy campaigner holds a plastic torch they call "Democracy Torch" at the torch relay ceremony in Hong Kong May 2, 2008. Eight protesters were detained briefly in Hong Kong and another pro-Tibet activist was jostled and derided as a traitor on the first leg of the Olympic torch's China tour after becoming a beacon of controversy around the world.
