Chinese embassy angered by Tibetan protests

The Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu has expressed its rage over Tibetan "harassers" continuing their anti-China protests in Nepal even as the country is engaged in efforts to fight against the deadly earthquake that hit China on Monday.

Issuing a statement on Wednesday, the Embassy said while condolences continued to pour in from Nepal government and Nepali society, "the Tibetans, despite being Chinese, harassed Embassy staffers and severely disturbed normal work".

"While the Chinese government and people in the earthquake-hit region are making all-out efforts to fight against the disaster and participating in relief and rescue efforts, these Tibetan "harassers" ignored the pain of their compatriots and showed neither sympathy nor grief over the tragedy."

The Embassy also lambasted international human rights organizations for their support for Tibetans protestors, saying that they are "disregarding humanitarianism" by overtly supporting activities aimed at the independence of Tibet. nepalnews.com ag May 15 08
