Tibetan nun shot on Nangpa Pass
A Tibetan nun in her mid twenties was shot dead by Chinese border patrols and at least one other Tibetan may have been killed while on their way into exile in Nepal on the Nangpa pass five days ago, according to eyewitness reports. Tibetans traveling with the nun were unable to bring her body, with evident wounds from several rounds of bullets, with them because they feared arrest before entering Nepalese territory. There are reports that up to seven more Tibetans may have been killed after the group was fired upon by Chinese armed personnel, but these could not be confirmed. The incident took place on the glaciated Nangpa Pass at 18,753 ft, just a few kilometres west of Mount Cho Oyu, and was witnessed by a number of international mountaineers at advance base camp, who saw Chinese military personnel kneel down, take aim and open fire on the Tibetans, some of whom were children as young as ten.

[...] As NattyDread reported earlier this week on this blog, Chinese forces opened fire on a group of over seventy Tibetan refugees, killing at least two people.

It is 11:15PM…saturday ‘Oct 14’2006. We were watching ctv(canadian channel) and they showed the nangla pass shooting full coverage with the video from that romanian crew. And most of the canadian families are watching this news since it is the weekend…I hope the canadian public could learn something from the incident; chinese claimed it as self-defence. “LaIr!” Canada is being dumped with all this chinese goods and we are losing all this money with China in trade.
His Holiness also made his comment regarding the incident & mentioned that 1.2 millions tibetans died as the result of chinese occupation. Amnesty International representative also made an effective remark on the incident.
