It was not only in the ceremony for the Olympic flame but protests are continuing in the Tibetan-populated areas of China, with state-run media saying one policeman was killed in the latest riot.
Several policemen were also injured in the clash in the western Sichuan province.
The Tibetan government-in-exile says that 130 people died in and around the Himalayan region during clashes that began on 10 March. Officials in Beijing have previously put the death toll at 19. Foreign journalists remain banned from Tibet.
Protesters from media rights group Reporters without Borders broke through the cordon of 1,000 police officers in Olympia as China's envoy spoke waving a flag that had bullet holes instead of the known Olympic cycles.
