Tibetan marchers arrested
(AP; Phayul) Indian police have arrested 50 Tibetan exiles marching to Tibet to protest against Chinese rule as they entered Dharchula, the last Indian town before the Tibetan border. In groups of four, the marchers approached the blockade of police officers, attempting to break through in order to continue on their way. The 200 police officers arrested them and took them away on two waiting buses.
