A brave fundraiser not afraid to take action for the Tibetan cause, Mandie was arrested filming the unfurling of a Tibetan flag.
Originally sentenced to 10 days imprisonment with trial she has now been released and is expected to fly back tomorow.
This again made a mockery of the promises the Chinese governmemt made to hold the Olympics.
