A group of 200 Tibetan exiles and monks tried to storm the Chinese Embassy visa office in Nepal's capital on Sunday but police beat them back with bamboo batons.
At least 130 protesters were arrested and some of the demonstrators and policemen were injured in the scuffle.
The protesters reached the metal gate of the fortified compound and were kicking and trying to push it open when police armed with bamboo batons raced to the scene and began beating them.
''Stop the killing, stop the killing,'' the protesters chanted as they charged toward the office gate.
Nepal has said it would not allow protests against any ''friendly nation,'' including China.
International rights groups, like New York-based Human Rights Watch, and the United Nations have repeatedly criticized Nepal's handling of the Tibetan protests and beating of the protesters.
