The symbolic flame is being carried through 22 European countries by a delegation led by member of Tibet's exile parliament Thupten Wangchen.

A demonstration was held at 17:00 on Tallinn's Town Hall Square. Bearing flags and signs, the delegation was received by many of the local supporters of the occupied nation.

Earlier on Sunday, Thupten met with Andres Herkel, IRL member and leader of the parliamentary Tibet support group.
