BY KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu

January 20, 2010: the Nepalese border police have arrested ten Tibetans entering Nepal on Saturdays, January 16, 2010, and turned them over to the United Nations, immigration authorities in Nepal on Monday, January 18, 2010,

The Nepalese border police have arrested eight Tibetan men and two Tibetan women after crossing the Nepal-Tibet border and entering Nepal. The Nepalese immigration authorities have cross-questioned them about possible involvement in anti-China activities. The Nepalese authorities have said that they have found nothing that indicates the Tibetans have any intentions to launch any anti-Chinese activities rather they are intended to go to India for meeting their spiritual leader the Dalai Lama; so, the Nepalese immigration authorities have turned the Tibetans over to the UN immigration authorities in Nepal. The Dalai Lama has been residing in India since he took refuge in there after the unsuccessful uprising against the Chinese rule in Tibet in 1958.
