If Nepali police can do this to Tibetans, it's not surprising to see any unusual behaving to their own citizens. Shame on Nepali police. They are really brutal.

US-based pressure group Human Rights Watch
has condemned Nepal's government for using what it calls excessive
force against protesting Tibetan exiles.
The Nepalese government has said in response that it has no choice but
to prevent what it calls anti-Chinese protests in the capital,
Kathmandu.
The protestors have regularly held rallies against Chinese rule in Tibet.
Police have often beaten them with batons, and sometimes used tear gas or inflicted head wounds, the group says.
Human Rights Watch said in a statement that one man was beaten so hard that both his feet were fractured.
The group also alleged that at least one monk was threatened with deportation to China if he took part in further protests.
'One-China policy'
It called on the government to stop the use of force and mass arrests.
"How can a government that came to power on a wave of public
protests against an authoritarian regime, justify crushing peaceful
protests by Tibetans?" the group asked.
Nepal's interior ministry spokesman, Mod Raj Dhotel, said the police had been told not to violate human rights.
He said Nepal could not allow any anti-Chinese demonstrations because the government follows a "one China" policy.
"We are bounded by our limitations," Mr Dhotel said.
Last week the police admitted to the BBC that they regularly
received requests from the Chinese authorities not to allow such
demonstrations.
BBC correspondents have also witnessed angry scuffles between Tibetan demonstrators and local Nepalese people.
Tibetan refugees living in Kathmandu have held rallies against
Chinese rule in Tibet, mainly at a large Buddhist shrine or outside the
United Nations country office, on at least six of the past 10 days.
