Police in Nepal have detained 562 Tibetan women at an anti-China rally in Kathmandu.
This is the first all-women protest against Chinese rule in their homeland, officials said.
Some shouted 'We want free Tibet' while others wept as they were dragged along the road to police vans and trucks and driven to detention centres.
Many were wearing black armbands and had their mouths gagged with cloths.
Nepal supports Chinese rule in Tibet and has been cracking down on protests by exiled Tibetans against Beijing.
Police said the protesters would be freed later.
Exiled Tibetans have been protesting regularly ever since deadly riots broke out in the Tibetan capital Lhasa in March, followed by demonstrations in other Tibetan areas of China.
More than 20,000 Tibetans have been living in Nepal since fleeing their Himalayan homeland after the failed uprising.
