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.
