Hundreds of Tibetan exiles calling for freedom in their homeland demonstrated in the Nepalese capital Friday until police stopped them. About 500 Tibetans, many of them women, marched on the outskirts of Katmandu for about two miles, holding banners that said "Free Tibet, Tibet for Tibetans."
Police at first tried to detain some of them, but after scuffles lasting several minutes the protesters returned to their refugee camp at the southern edge of Katmandu. No-one was arrested. (AP)
