PARIS -- Paris city hall will unfurl a giant banner in defense of human rights when the Olympic flame arrives in the French capital Monday ahead of the summer Games in China, Mayor Bertrand Delanoe said.
"There will be a banner saying 'Paris defends human rights everywhere in the world' on city hall," Delanoe told a press conference on Wednesday.
