The expulsion threat applies to any of the venues used during the sporting spectacular.

A spokeswoman said this covers the village, where competitors will stay.

She said: "It is an Olympic venue so it falls under the same rules and regulations of any venue.

"Anything in there would be judged on whether it was a provocative propaganda initiative."

Anti-China protesters in Paris have forced French officials to extinguish the Olympic torch three times.

The torch, circled, can been seen without a flame.
