Kathmandu, October 12 – Eleven & twenty three of two group Tibetan refugees arrested in this week at delduldura and Birganj (border with India) for illegally entering Nepal were sent to Tibetan Refugee reception center through the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), Kathmandu, today.
Those arrested two group refugees include a child and a woman. They were apprehended for entering Nepal from Tibet without travel permits and they had possibly been planning to head for India where their spiritual leader the Dalai Lama lives in exile in the northern town of Dharamsala
Since Nepal earned strong international criticism to deported 18 Tibetans to China late this May, the issue of Tibetans traveling via Nepal to Dharamsala (India) has become a sensitive focus of international attention and Nepal is showing the signs for good.
