On the 24th of June, 70 "Play Fair"
campaigners carrying brightly coloured banners took part in
a march that passed along Vassil Levski boulevard. The activists
chanted 'Igraite cestno na Olimpiadata!' [Play fair at the
Olympics!] and international slogans, and handed out leaflets.
The march stopped outside the offices of the Bulgarian Olympics
Committee, where Ivan Tishev from the Bulgarian CCC and Esther
de Haan from the CCC International Secretariat made impassioned
speeches to the Committee demanding that the Bulgarian Olympic
Committee support the demands of the Play Fair at the Olympics
campaign. The demonstration ended outside the Bulgarian national
stadium, where a giant clock counted down the days till the
kick off of the Games.
