At least 179 free-Tibet protesters arrested in Nepal

At least 179 'free Tibet' protesters were detained in the Nepali capital on Friday. Shaven headed nuns and monks in maroon robes were among them as they tried to storm a visa office of the Chinese embassy. The refugees were hauled into police vans and trucks after scuffles with riot police. The Tibetans are protesting all over the world in a desperate bid to draw attention to their cause before the Beijing Olympics.
