STORYLINE:
Hundreds of Tibetan exiles gathered outside the United Nations office in New Delhi on Monday, to protest against the Beijing Olympics and Chinese rule in their homeland.
The protestors wanted to hold a day-long hunger strike near the heavily guarded building but were denied permission to do so by police and armed paramilitary soldiers.
They were later taken away in buses.
India is home to the largest Tibetan exile community and its exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
Tibetan exiles and activists have been staging frequent protests to show their support for the uprising that erupted in Tibet's capital in March, and to protest China's hosting of the Olympics.
The March protests were some of the biggest in almost 50 years of Chinese rule.
Many Tibetans insist they were an independent nation before Communist troops invaded in 1950, while Beijing says the Himalayan region has been part of its territory for centuries.
Chinese authorities have blamed the Dalai Lama for the recent unrest in Tibet, which Beijing says was part of a campaign to split the Himalayan region from the rest of China.
The Dalai Lama has denied the accusation and not joined calls to boycott the Olympics, saying he supports China's hosting of the games.
