Русская версияTibetan exiles in India and Nepal have held anti-China protests on
the eve of the Beijing Olympics, saying the occasion was an
opportunity for the world to recognise their plight.
In the Indian
capital New Delhi, about 1,000 Tibetans staged a march, carrying
Tibetan flags and shouting slogans. Police and paramilitary troops
were deployed to prevent violence. India is home to more than
100,000 Tibetan refugees, including exiled spiritual leader the
Dalai Lama. In the northern town of Dharamsala, where the the Dalai
Lama and his government-in-exile are based, some 2,000 Tibetans
demonstrated against China. In Nepal, hundreds of Tibetans were
detained after they clashed with police while protesting in
Kathmandu.
