Tibetan Exiles Arrested in Nepal; Hundreds More Detained

 

Three Tibetan exiles were arrested and 650 more were detained Thursday in the largest single-day round-up of protesters in Nepal since demonstrations supporting Tibet’s autonomy began in March.

 

The three community leaders were charged with organizing the protest rally, which took place days before the scheduled Olympic torch relay makes its way through Tibet. Protesters have used the Olympic flame’s journey around the world to spotlight Tibet’s plight.

 

Until now, Tibetan exiles have only been detained and released for their participation in protests.  

Authorities charged the trio who were arrested with damaging diplomatic relations between China and Nepal.
