Tragedy at the Nepal Border

BBC is reporting that policeman Steve Marsh was resting at a camp on the Tibetan side of the Himalayan peak of Cho-Oyu at the beginning of the month when he saw border guards shooting dead a Tibetan refugee in a group trying to flee to Nepal. He spoke of his shock at the incident, which he said scores of other mountaineers also witnessed. Tibet welfare groups say the Tibetan who died was a young nun, and add that a boy might also have been killed. Click the link to watch the video.
