STORYLINE:
Demonstrators gathered in the capitals of Nepal, India and Germany on Tuesday, to take part in worldwide protests marking the 50th anniversary of the abortive Tibetan revolt against Chinese rule.
In Nepal, police blocked the way of about 100 Tibetans who were demonstrating on the outskirts of the capital, Katmandu.
Protesters chanted: "We want free Tibet, stop killing in Tibet!"
Police were seen detaining some demonstrators, who were later freed, according to a local news agency.
About 500 Tibetans had earlier gathered at a Katmandu monastery to light lamps and pray.
Security was tightened across Nepal, which is home to thousands of Tibetan exiles.
The government issued orders banning protests near the Chinese embassy, and warned that those defying the ban would be jailed.
