mr-damon discovered 8 weeks ago- "Police detained more than 600 female Tibetan protesters, including many Buddhist nuns, on Sunday after breaking up several demonstrations in Nepal's capital against China's recent crackdown in Tibet. "The protesters held three separate rallies in Katmandu but were quickly stopped by police." "Detained protesters are generally freed by police later in the day. "Nepal's police have broken up almost all anti-China protests by Tibetan exiles during the past several weeks and detained participants. Officials say they will not allow protests that could harm Nepal's friendly relations with neighboring China. "The Tibetan exiles have mainly been protesting in front of the United Nations offices and the Chinese Embassy in Katmandu. "Security has been stepped up around the embassy since the protests began, with hundreds of police posted on the streets leading to the building. "The United Nations and international rights groups have criticized Nepal for using what they say is excessive force to stop the protests. Police have beaten people with batons and dragged them through the streets while detaining them."
