Tibetan refugees arrested in peace march to Chinese border

34 Tibetan refugees from Katmandu tried to march across the Nepal-Tibet border at Tatopani, in protest of last year’s killings and detentions in Chinese-controlled Tibet.

2008 recorded the most violent anti-China protests by Tibetans all over the world, as they took the chance to make their case with China playing host to the 2008 Olympics Games.

The Tibetan peace march was disrupted when Nepalese police stopped the bus midway, some 75km from Katmandu. The refugees alighted and continued marching for another five kilometres, before police blocked their advance and arrested them at Andheri, Sindhupalchok, 35km from the border.

The marchers were sent back to Kathmandu and are now detained in the capital’s city jail.
50 years after the failed uprising in Tibet against Chinese rule, Tibetan refugees continue to protest in the hope of returning to their homeland without fear of persecution.
