Kathmandu, April 15:

Police today arrested 128 Tibetan refugees into custody for protesting in front of the Visa Section of Chinese Embassy at Hattisar, Kathmandu, today.

The refugees chanted slogans blaming the Chinese government of state high-handedness on Tibetan demonstrators at Lhasa a month ago.

The Tibetan refugees had discontinued their protests from April 7 considering the constituent assembly election in Nepal.

“The refugees may be freed late tonight. This time, we will release them only after getting their details including when and how they entered Nepal and about how and where they are staying,” SP Sarbendra Khanal at the Metropolitan Police Range, Kathmandu, said.

Tibetan refugees have been protesting against the China’s crackdown in Lhasa.
