International press and local press published the news item stating that the US Government strongly demanded the release of three Tibetan community activists such as Kelsang Chung, Ngawang Sangmo, and Tashi Dolma from the custody of the Nepalese police.
The Economic Times of India in its issue of June 27, 2008 wrote, "The United States is deeply concerned by the Government of Nepal's recent detention without charge of Tibetan community activists Kelsang Chung, Ngawang Sangmo, and Tashi Dolma. We call for their immediate and unconditional release," the Department's Deputy Spokesman Tom Casey said in a statement, "ongoing harsh treatment" of peaceful protesters during their arrests by the Nepali police is distressing. "We understand and respect Nepal's national security concerns and the importance of protecting diplomatic premises," Casey said and urged Nepal to "ensure the humane treatment of peaceful protesters".
