Asia Pacific Breaking News - Nearly 30 Tibetans arrested for illegally entering Nepal

Authorities in Nepal have arrested 27 Tibetans for illegally entering the country.

Border security in the north east of the country arrested the group for entering Nepal without legal documents.

Hundreds of Tibetans cross over to Nepal each year on their way to the north Indian hill station of Dharam-sala to meet their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959 amid a failed uprising against Chinese rule. Sphere: Related Content
