On Thursday the Nepal Government arrested 106 protestors from in front of the Chinese embassy and handed them over to the UNHCR asking it to verify their status. "If they are not the actual refugees, they will be punished and if they are refugees coming from Dharamshala, they would be sent there under UNHCR protection," a senior official of the Home Ministry told The Indian Express.
All the protestors who were detained and interrogated by the Police on Thursday refused to reveal their actual status. "If the UNHCR fails to ascertain their status, we will have sufficient reason to believe that they are illegal immigrants and the law will take its own course," Dotel said.
Over the past few months, while the Chinese have been asking the Government not to allow anti-china activities in Nepal, the office of the Human Rights Commissioner in Nepal, besides the US embassy, representatives of the European Union and Australia, had protested against the "crackdown" on Tibetans by the Police asking the Government to respect the human rights of the protestors. full story
