Nepal activists held

Monday 29 March 2005

KATHMANDU: Nepali police detained at least seven anti-king activists in Kathmandu yesterday as they protested against King Gyanendra's seizure of power last month and called for restoration of political freedom.

Witnesses said the activists, including former legislators, were picked up from the heart of the the capital as they shouted anti-king slogans and waved the Nepali Congress party flags, ignoring a ban on protest rallies.

"Restore democracy," and "Withdraw the royal proclamation of emergency", the protesters shouted as riot police detained them.
