Nepal arrests 560 Tibetan women

The arrests came at Nepal's first all-women protests against China

Nepalese police have arrested some 560 Tibetan women, including many Buddhist nuns, after breaking up demonstrations 
against China's crackdown in Tibet.

In the first example of all-women protests, three rallies in Kathmandu were 
quickly stopped by police.

It was the biggest round-up since Tibetan exiles began near daily 
demonstrations in March.

Protestors wearing black armbands wept and shouter "We want free Tibet" as 
they were dragged to police vans.

Police said those detained were being held in detention centres around the 
capital, and would be freed later.

Kathmandu is home to thousands of Tibetan exiles who have mounted almost daily protests against Beijing since deadly 
riots broke out in the Tibetan capital Lhasa in March.

Rioting erupted after days of protests pivoting around the anniversary of the failed 1959 Tibetan uprising against 
Chinese rule.

More than 20,000 Tibetans have been living in Nepal since fleeing their Himalayan homeland after the failed uprising and 
China's subsequent crack-down.

Nepal says it cannot allow Tibetans to demonstrate because it recognises 
Tibet as an integral part of China.

But the UN says the mass arrests are against the spirit of a society governed 
by the rule of law.
