Tibet protestors try to storm Chinese Embassy in Nepal

Katmandu: Police say 200 Tibetan exiles and monks have tried to storm the Chinese Embassy visa office in Nepal's capital. Police stopped them by beating them with bamboo batons.

At least 130 protesters were arrested and some of the demonstrators and policemen were injured in the scuffle.

Sunday's protest is the latest by Tibetan monks and refugees in Nepal's capital against the recent crackdown in Tibet by Chinese authorities.

Nepal has said it will not allow protests against any "friendly nation," including China.
