Police in Nepal have arrested than 550 Tibetan demonstrators, most of them women, during anti-China protests in the capital Kathmandu. The demonstrators, including Tibetan nuns, were arrested as they tried to march towards the Chinese visa office, which has been the target of protests for the past four days.
Nepal considers Tibet part of China, which is a key donor and trade partner, and has been cracking down on protests by the exiled Tibetans against Beijing. Police said the protesters would be freed later in the day.
