Nepal, traditionally the route by which Tibetans have left Tibet, is to deny documents to Tibetan refugees arriving in the country. The Nepal government has vowed to strengthen its friendly ties with China, who is a major donor to Nepal, and has agreed to check “anti-China activities” as well as crack down on political protests by Tibetans. Tibetans refugees in Nepal are now at risk of harrassment, arrest and repatriation.
