Nepalese police arrest exiled Tibetan protesters during a protest at the Visa section of Chinese embassy to mark the uprising day in Kathmandu, Nepal, 10 March 2010. Thousands of Tibetans attended the protest rally, around 30 were arrested and dozen were injured during clashes with police. Every year on 10 March Tibetan exiles worldwide remember the day when China launched a crackdown to suppress an uprising in Tibet. Last year bloody riots broke out in Lhasa following peaceful protests marking the uprising. Nearly six million Tibetans live in the Tibet region of China while over 150,000 live in other countries, most of them in Nepal and India.
