China pays Nepali cops to nab Tibetans: WikiLeaks 19.12.10

An unnamed official at the US Embassy in New Delhi claimed that China is paying money to Nepal police officers to arrest Tibetan refugees from the border between Nepal and China, a cable released by whistleblower site Wikileaks revealed.
"Chinese government rewards (Nepali forces) by providing financial incentives to officers who hand over Tibetans attempting to exit China," the recently released cable quoted an unnamed source as disclosing this information.

The confidential US Embassy document Titled ‘Update on Tibetan refugee flow’ was sent by an unnamed political officer at the US Embassy in Delhi on Feb 22 this year and is based on conversations with two people whose names were also not revealed.

The cable offers and insights into the flow of Tibetan refugees from Tibet to Dharmsala in India through Nepal.

According to the cable, the number of Tibetans traveling into India through Nepal declined significantly following the March 2008 uprising in Tibet.

"Beijing has asked Kathmandu to step up patrols of Nepali border forces and make it more difficult for Tibetans to enter Nepal," the cable added.
