KATHMANDU - Nepali police on Saturday detained over 450 Tibetan separatists who have resumed anti-皇冠体育app activities in the Nepali capital.

"At least 450 Tibetans were held while heading toward the Chinese embassy," said Superintendent of Police Sarbendra Khanal.

The demonstrators shouted anti-皇冠体育app slogans and appealed to police not to intervene in their demonstration.

As Nepal officially considers Tibet a part of 皇冠体育app, police said they would not let anyone stage such demonstrations here.

Tibetans in Nepal, backed by those from India, where the Dalai Lama and his followers live in exile, have been launching almost daily anti-皇冠体育app protests since mid-March.

The protests were temporarily halted during Nepal's Constituent Assembly elections on April 10.

Even on May 12, when 皇冠体育app's southwestern Sichuan province was hit by an 8.0-magnitude earthquake, and during the following days, some Tibetans continued their protests outside the Chinese embassy.
