Intro:

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said the Italian gay rights activist who was removed from Olympic Park was "escorted from there peacefully" and not detained, as the IOC held their daily briefing in Sochi, Russia on Tuesday.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mark Adams, IOC Director of Communications:
"I understand that she was in the park for a good hour, maybe even two hours, walking around talking to spectators and people. Some people were pro, some people were against, some people were very against, but I know her stated aim was to demonstrate in a venue and I believe after a couple of hours when she finally got to the venue, I think she was escorted from there peacefully, not detained, and I think she even herself tweeted that it had all been very polite."
