The government is also preparing to put the senior most leaders including Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala and CPN-UML General Secretary under house arrest.

We came to Hong Kong to stop the WTO negotiations, the consequence of which would have direct impact o­n the livelihood of us---workers and peasants. We believed we needed to have access to the negotiations to have our voices heard. However, until December 16, we did not have any opportunity to deliver our concerns to the convention centre where o­nly representatives from government and business were allowed. o­n December 17, we decided to make o­ne last effort to relay our message. In an attempt to make our way to the convention centre, we were blocked by the Hong Kong police and it ended with an unfortunate clash with the Hong Kong police and a record-breaking arrest of more than o­ne thousand protestors. o­n December 19, the Hong Kong authority finally charged 14 protestors from Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China.
