Nepal is in the seventh day of a renewed phase of protest against the rule of King Gyanendra. The anti-government unrest marks the most sustained show of opposition since the King seized power in a coup last year. The government has responded with curfews, mass arrests and armed force. Police assaults on protesters were reported in at least three areas around the country Tuesday. Overall, three demonstrators have been killed and hundreds injured in the last week. According to the Federation of Nepalese Journalists, more than 110 Nepalese journalists have been arrested alone.
