Rights group criticise Nepal for blocking Tibetan protests
KATHMANDU (AP): A New York-based human rights group has alleged that Nepal arbitrarily arrested hundreds of Tibetans protesting against China and restricted their right to demonstrate, according to a report Thursday.
Human Rights Watch called on Nepal's government to respect the right of Tibetans to peacefully protest and to end the arrest, harassment and mistreatment of those who do so.
``The government of Nepal, under pressure from China, has arbitrarily arrested hundreds of Tibetans and restricted their right to demonstrate against the March 2008 crackdown in Tibet,'' the report said, referring to China's violent reaction to protests against its rule in Tibet.
In a statement, Human Rights Watch's Asia director Brad Adams accused Nepal's government of ``turning the screws on peaceful Tibetan protesters at the behest of China.''
Nepal's Home Secretary Umesh Mainali denied the allegation.
``We are not under the pressure from China and the allegation that China is instructing us is totally false,'' Mainali said. ``It is our policy not to allow any activities against any other nations to take place in our soil.''
Tibetan exiles have been protesting in Nepal's capital almost daily since March. Nepalese police have blocked protests outside the Chinese embassy, their visa office and United Nations office.
Initially police used batons and tear gas to disperse the crowd, but stopped after being criticized by both national and international rights groups.
``It is our duty and responsibility to protect the embassies from attacks by protesters,'' Mainali said.
``We are not targeting Tibetans or stopping them from peaceful protests. The police remove them from the embassy area, keep them for few hours in police stations and free them. They are not charged or jailed,'' he said.
Police have allowed some demonstrations far from embassy area. Recently there have been protesters outside the visa office in Katmandu who have tried to storm the office. They have also thrown debris and kicked the gates.
Scuffles between protesters and police have resulted in minor injuries.
There are thousands of Tibetan refugees living in Nepal. Thousands more are allowed to pass through Nepal on their way to Dharmasala, India where their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, lives in exile.
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao rejected the report's assertion that China was pressuring the Nepalese government.
``We don't accept such accusations and we criticize such remarks,'' he said.
Liu called Nepal a ``good neighbor and good friend.'' He said such countries have pledged to prevent actions in their territory that would harm China's interests, such as moves to create an independent Tibet or attacks on Chinese diplomatic missions abroad.
``We support and appreciate some countries' necessary measures to prevent such things from happening,'' Liu said.
人权组织批评尼泊尔阻止西藏抗议
加德满都 ：一个总部设在纽约的人权组织周四在一份报告中声称，尼泊尔任意逮捕了数以百计的抗议中国的西藏人和限制他们的游行示威的权利。
人权观察组织呼吁尼泊尔政府尊重西藏人和平示威的权利，并停止逮捕，骚扰和虐待那些人。
"尼泊尔政府处于来自中国的压力下，任意逮捕了数百名西藏人和限制他们抗议2008年3月西藏镇压的游行示威的权利"，该报告说，归根于中国对抗议其在西藏的统治的激烈反应。
在一份声明中，人权观察组织的亚洲部主任布拉德亚当斯指责尼泊尔政府听从中国的命令给西藏和平示威者施加压力。
尼泊尔的内政大臣umesh迈纳利否认这一指控。
他说:"我们不是在中国的压力下，中国指示我们的说法是完全错误的， ''迈纳利说。"这是我们的政策，不让任何反对其他国家的活动，在我们的土地上实行。"
3月份以来几乎每天都有西藏流亡者在尼泊尔的首都抗议。尼泊尔警察已经封锁了中国大使馆，签证处和联合国办事处之外的抗议。
最初警方用警棍和催泪瓦斯驱散人群，但在国内和国际人权团体批评后停止。
"保护驻外使领馆不受示威者攻击是我们的义务和责任 '' 迈纳利说。
"我们不是针对西藏人或停止他们的和平抗议。警方把他们从使馆区带走，让他们在派出所呆几个小时，然后放了他们。他们没有被起诉或被判入狱，他说。
在远离使馆区的地方警方允许一些示威活动。最近有示威者试图强行冲进加德满都中国签证处。他们还投掷杂物及踢大门。
示威者和警方之间的冲突已导致了轻伤。
数以千计的西藏难民居住在尼泊尔。数千人获准通过尼泊尔前往印度达兰莎拉，他们的流亡精神领袖达赖喇嘛生活在那里。
在北京，中国外交部发言人刘建超拒绝接受报告的论断，即中国向尼泊尔政府施加压力。
"我们不接受这种指责和批评这种说法，" 他说。
刘称尼泊尔为"好邻居和好朋友"。他说，某些国家已承诺采取行动以防止在其领土上发生损害中国利益的行为，例如建立一个独立的西藏或攻击中国驻外使团。
"我们支持和赞赏一些国家采取必要的措施，以防止此类事情发生， ''刘建超说。 |
