Protestors take aim at China's Hu

May 13 - Nepali police battle with Tibetan protestors during an anti-China rally in the capital Kathmandu.

Demonstrators tried to burn an effigy of China's President Hu Jintao following remarks by China's ambassador to Nepal.

Zheng Xialing had earlier urged the Nepali government to curb continuing Tibetan protests in the Himalayan country.

There have been regular demonstrations in Nepal by exiled Tibetans after deadly riots in Chinese-controlled Tibet in March (2008).
