    Kathmandu, May 13: Nepal police on Tuesday arrested at least 250 Tibetan exiles including a woman while they were protesting in front of the Chinese embassy according to PTI reports.

    The arrest comes a day after Chinese ambassador Jheng Xialing has asked the Nepal government to take severe action against Tibetan demonstrators.

    Police arrested the people from a peaceful rally organised by hundreds of Tibetan exiles as they marched towards the Chinese consulate office carrying placards with anti-china slogans, eyewitnesses and officials said.

    There were heavy deployment of riot police since morning to prevent anti-china demonstrations. Security has been tightened in front of the Chinese embassy and its consulate in the country.

      so we have to read this in the suffocating nepalese context.
      Nepal is unable and will be for the coming ten years to keep the country livable.
      For refugees who have normally a sad status, this means even worse.
      They have or believe they have nothing to loose this is a country that sent home and killed a king, voted mao to get land back, and did not go to school.
      Buddhism came from India that only sponsored the army to kill all.
      Nepal needs to look inside for justice, open the mass graves and ask them. Meanwhile gandhi is dead as well. The hindu castes are out of power and nobody understands where the gods went, probably to the Olympics

      Nepal is gone crazy under Communist China! Let see how far they survive with this new policy. Sad - who suffers? Poor and hopeless people goes under this oppression. Rich & educated run away and get settled in foreign countries.

      I pray for all my Nepal friends to live in peacefully & happily.

      It is a sad state of affairs in Nepal. First the government, a sovereign government, takes orders from China and secondly the police have been unusually hard on peaceful demonstrators with indiscriminate and lethal lathi charges, and sexually groping and fondling women demonstrators. (Check the frame wich is circled, with two young policemen smiling ear to ear, while fondling a young lady demonstrator in the pictures above)

      Now that the Maoist have won the elections, and the current government of Nepal subservient to China’s every whim, Nepal has in the true sense of the word has become a part of China. So Tibetans in Nepal watch out!
