The Tibetan leg of the Olympic torch relay will go ahead as planned despite the recent violent protests in Lhasa.Beijing's Olympic Organising Committee made the announcement as Chinese authorities said more than 100 people turned themselves in to police after taking part in the protests. The crackdown on the protests in Tibet and neighbouring Chinese provinces, which may have killed dozens of people, have sparked calls for a boycott of Beijing's showcase Games.
