American actress-activist Mia Farrow lights "torch against genocide" in Hong Kong as she urges China to pressure the Sudanese government over the Darfur crisis.
The U.S. actress also expressed solidarity with Tibetan protestors but said she was focused on influencing China over its support for Sudan and called on world leaders to boycott the Olympics opening ceremony.
Farrow's speech to the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club took place at the same time as China hosted the Olympic torch relay on home soil after a difficult international leg that saw various anti-China protests.
China says the Games should not be turned into a political issue.
