STORYLINE:
Protesters across Asia and Europe staged demonstrations against China's response to rioting Tibetans in Lhasa on Tuesday, demanding respect for human rights in the region.
In the Nepali capital Katmandu, police arrested about 50 protesters who were demonstrating to demand a UN investigation into China's crackdown
on Tibetans, officials said.
It was the third protest in recent days close to the UN headquarters in the capital Katmandu.
About 200 people, including Tibetan exiles and monks, took part in the demonstration.
Police arrested about 50 who refused to leave the area, witnesses said. It was not clear whether they would be charged, but most of those detained in recent days have been freed by the evening.
Throughout the past week, major Tibetan exile communities, including ones in Nepal and India, have organised their own protests, often clashing with authorities who do not wish to jeopardise improving relations with Beijing.
