Police arrest 450 Tibetan protestors in Nepal

From correspondents in Kathmandu, Nepal, 12:32 PM IST

Nepal's police Saturday detained more than 450 Tibetan protestors who have resumed anti-China demonstrations in the capital.

'At least 450 Tibetans were held while heading toward the Chinese embassy,' said city's police chief Sarbendra Khanal.

The demonstrators shouted anti-China slogans and appealed to the police not to intervene in their demonstration.

Tibetans in Nepal have been carrying out almost daily anti-China protests since mid-March.

The protests were temporarily halted during the Himalayan country's Constituent Assembly elections April 10.
