Tibetans Rally Against Chinese
BY KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On Monday, March 10, 2008, Tibetans in Nepal commemorate the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising against the Chinese occupation holding a protest rally in Kathmandu. Tibetans were to stage a rally at the Chinese Embassy to protest the Chinese occupation of Tibet and to mark the anniversary of the Tibetan uprising against Chinese in Lhasa in 1959. A large number of the police posted at the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu to prevent any rally at the embassy area.
Thousands of Tibetans gathered at the Boudha in Kathmandu to march to the Chinese embassy for protesting the Chinese occupation of Tibet. The Nepalese police have forcibly stopped the Tibetans from peacefully moving forward.
Since Nepal has adopted a “One-China Policy” the Government of Nepal has been restricting any activities of protesting the Chinese rule in Tibet. The Nepalese Government has closed the office of the representative of Dalai Lama and the office of the Tibetan Refugees’ Center in Kathmandu. The Nepalese Government has shamelessly sent back some Tibetans coming from Tibet and heading to the Dharamsala, India: the home in exile of the Dalai Lama.
