1. (SBU) At approximately 4:30 PM local time US Embassy
Kathmandu local guards reported three local males sighted
jumping over the Embassy Main Residence (EMR) fence on the
south side. The trespassers were apprehended immediately and
ordered to come along quietly by the local guards at the
residence and complied without resistance. The three
individuals were believed to be part of the large
demonstration broken up by the local police shortly before.


2. (SBU) The ARSO and Senior FSNI responded to the scene
immediately and interviewed the three males. After
questioning, both were convinced that the three were fleeing
police who were using water cannons and tear gas to break up
the crowd of protesters who where demonstrating in the Ratna
Park area nearby and had no idea they were entering the
Ambassador's Compound.


3. (SBU) The three individuals were described as Nepalese
college students between the ages of eighteen to twenty five.
RSO has full names and biodata obtained from the subjects,
who provided college ID cards as identification, and will
conduct appropriate name checks.


4. (SBU) The trespassers were released into the custody of
local police officers outside the EMR who were asked to
escort them out of the area and release them. Local police
were further instructed that the US Mission did not want to
press charges against the suspects at this time.


5. (U) RSO point of contact is RSO James W. Gayhart (997)
441-1179 ext 4680.
