Dalai Lama 'is not a call girl' Dalai Lama: Merkel is a friend Dalai Lama gets cold shoulder

Kathmandu - Hundreds of Tibetan activists clashed with police in Nepal's capital on Monday when protesters tried to march to the Chinese embassy, an AFP reporter said.

Police baton-charged the demonstrators after they had been pelted with stones.

At least two police and three protesters were injured, a reporter at the scene said.

Around 3 000 Tibetans had gathered in Boudha, a Tibetan temple complex in Kathmandu, to mark the 49th anniversary of the Dalai Lama's escape to India after an abortive anti-Beijing uprising.

Police tried to prevent around 500 people from leaving the enclave to protest outside the Chinese embassy when the clashes began.
