From CNN.com:
"Police in Nepal arrested more than 500 Tibetan protesters, nearly all of them women, on Sunday before what was to be the first all-female rally against China's actions in Tibet.
"Nepalese police officers detain Tibetan exiles participating in a silent peace march.
"A senior police officer said the protesters were arrested for carrying the Tibetan flag and wearing head bands that read "Free Tibet."
"Nepal's police have broken up almost all anti-China protests by Tibetan exiles during the past several weeks and detained participants...The United Nations and international rights groups have criticized Nepal for using what they say is excessive force to stop the protests, AP reported. Police have beaten people with batons and dragged them through the streets while detaining them."
