Three activists protesting Chinese human rights violations in Tibet climbed a suspension cable of the Golden Gate Bridge today, two days before the Olympic torch relay is scheduled to arrive here. .

Officials said the activists began climbing the suspension cable about 10:30 a.m., just after morning rush hour. The climbers were tethered together by rope. One carried a suitcase and unfurled a banner that read, "One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 2008."
