Click to play videoKathmandu: An attempt by Tibetans to storm the Chinese Embassy here was foiled by the Nepalese police on Sunday which arrested 122 people in continuing crackdown on anti-China protests.
Baton-wielding policeman dispersed nearly 200 people shouting pro-independence slogans who tried to enter the tightly guarded embassy in Nepal, which has witnessed almost daily demonstration by Tibetans since the most vicious protests against the Chinese rule erupted in Tibet on Mar 10.
Police said 122 people, including 46 women, had been arrested. Some of the demonstrators and security personnel were injured in the scuffle.
Nepal's government officially recognises "One China" policy and considers Tibet as an integral part of the communist country.
Nepal's Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, said that reports that Chinese security agents were deployed on its territory along the border with Tibet were "completely untrue, groundless and pre-meditated attempts to malign" the country's image.
Tibetan students entered the United Nations' office premises here a few days ago, demanding freedom for Tibet.
However, the UN office in Kathmandu has asked the government to allow peaceful demonstrations and not to use excessive force. There are over 20,000 Tibetan refugees in Nepal.
