Police in Nepal have arrested more than 600 female Tibetan protesters, including many Buddhist nuns, after demonstrations in the capital Katmandu against China’s crackdown in Tibet.

The protesters held three separate rallies in the city but they were quickly broken up by Nepalese police.

Police official R.P. Dhamala confimed that more than 600 protesters were being held in detention centres in Katmandu.

The 600 arrests are the largest number of protesters detained on a single day since Tibetan exiles began almost daily protests in March against Chinese policies in Tibet. It was also the first time only women demonstrated.

Nepal Succumbs

Sadly, Nepal is resorting to suppression of freedom of speech to pander to its giant neighbor, China. Even if Nepal recognized 'Tibet' as part of China, they are acting in a fascist manner when the crack down on the right of Tibetan women to publicly express their grievances.
