Tibetan exiles continue anti-Olympic protests
Updated
Nepali police say they've detained at least 300 Tibetan protestors outside the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu.
The group were bundled into police vans as they approached the embassy's main gate shouting slogans.
A senior police officer says the demonstrators were expected to be released within hours.
Protest torch arrives in India
Meantime a Tibetan Peace Torch, which has gone round the world as a rival to the official Olympic Torch to raise awareness of China's control over the region, has reached Dharamsala in India.
Around 1,000 Tibetan exiles greeted the torch in pouring rain as it arrived, after it travelled through 50 cities in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Latin America.
Tenzin Choeying, head of Students for a Free Tibet, told reporters why the rival torch relay is important.
"We want to send a direct message that aspirations of Tibetan people, that is freedom for Tibet, will continue," he said.
"The Chinese government's understanding of the Tibetan movement as a movement of just one people is wrong.
"The Tibetan people, the majority of whom live inside Tibet, want complete freedom, they want independence."
