Nepali police on Friday afternoon detained about 100 Tibetan separatists involved in anti-China activities in the Nepali capital of Kathmandu.
The separatists tried to throng the visa office of the Chinese Embassy in Nepal by a heavy-traffic street in front of the main gate from the north, shouting out so-called "Tibet Independence" anti-China slogans.
Nepali police deployed earlier there blocked the rally, while some chiefs of the separatists climbed up the wall of a nearby cinema, instigating the others to neglect the police's dissuasion.
The traffic soon was trapped into a mess, the reinforcing traffic policemen have to evacuate some jammed vehicles by the one-way street against the regular direction.
Around 100 Tibetan separatists were detained, Kathmandu Police Control Center told Xinhua.
These detainees are supposed to be released after brief inquiry in police station.
The Nepali government has repeatedly said that Tibet is an inalienable part of China and that it will not allow anti-China activities on its territory.
Sarbendra Khanal, Metropolitan Police Range Office chief in Kathmandu, told Xinhua in April that Nepali police were simply performing their duties when assaulted by the Tibetans.
"Nepali police have been displaying utmost tolerance and using minimum force" while dealing with the Tibetan separatists, said Khanal.
Tibetan separatists have staged frequent anti-China protests since mid-March in Kathmandu. The activities often went ugly, leading to disruptions of city traffic and clashes with police, during which some Nepali policemen were injured.
Chinese Ambassador Zheng Xianglin said last month that there were criminal acts of beating and smashing in Kathmandu against other Tibetans who either refused to take part in anti-China activities or held different positions from the separatists.
