(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)KATHMANDU, Feb. 1_(Kyodo) _ Nepal's government has arrested hundreds of political activists ahead of nationwide anti-king protests planned for Wednesday, protest organizers said late Tuesday.

Krishna Prasad Sitaula, spokesman of the Nepali Congress Party, said more than 500 party workers and activists were rounded up across the country.

The NCP is leading the seven-party alliance opposing the King Gyanendra's direct rule.

Sitaula said that despite the arrests the parties will go ahead with their protests on Wednesday, which are aimed at marking the first anniversary of King Gyanendra's royal coup.
