Two Tibetans were arrested from New Delhi's Press Club, where they were protesting
against the Chinese President's visit to the city.
"Some more Tibetans were also arrested from different parts of the city -
India Habitat Centre and Ambedkar Bhavan - for holding demonstrations against
Hu. But the exact number of arrested people is not known yet," said Youdon
Aukatsang, member of Tibetans' Tehor Welfare Society.
More than 50 Tibetans were arrested on Monday, after a 27-year-old man set
himself on fire during a demonstration against Hu's India visit, said a
protester.
The protesters were sent to Tihar Jail for law and order violation.
General Secretary of the Tibetan Youth Congress Tenzin Chokey said that the police
have cordoned off Tibetan settlement areas to prevent the protesters from going
out.
"The Tibetan youth hostel in west Delhi's Rohini area has been sealed
since Monday night while some other areas like Pitampura and Majnu Ka Tila have
been cordoned off," said Chokey.
However, senior Delhi Police officials said they have only taken precautionary
measures to avoid any untoward incidents.
"Some Tibetans were nabbed as they were found to be involved in the
protest," said a senior police official.
"No Tibetan has been arrested so far. Police teams have been deployed in
areas where Tibetans reside to keep a watch on them in order to avoid any kind
of untoward incident like Monday's self-immolation case," said Rajan
Bhagat, Delhi Police spokesperson.
