SINDHUPALCHOK, NOV 19 - Police officials here say they are under tremendous pressure from Chinese authorities to hand over the Tibetans, who sneak into Nepal through Khasa.

According to the Kodari Immigration Office, over 100 Tibetans entered Nepal via this point within the past two months.

A source at the office said Nepali authorities do not want to hand over the Tibetans, who cross into Nepal, fearing that these people might face tough punishment back home. On Monday, 19 Tibetans, including seven children, entered Nepal.

With Chinese police pressing for their handover, police hid the asylum-seekers at a house before sending them to Kathmandu at night. A police officer said police hid the 19 Tibetans on humanitarian grounds.
