A photograph of the Tibetan nun who was shot by Chinese military on September 30 has been obtained from one of the mountaineers who witnessed the incident from Mount Cho Oyu. The image depicts a body lying in the snow, which has been confirmed to be the 17-year old nun, Kelsang Namtso, from Nagchu (Chinese: Naqu) prefecture in central Tibet. Kelsang Namtso was shot while attempting to cross the pass into Nepal and exile in India. The image depicts two shapes in the snow towards the ridge, which appear to confirm eyewitness reports of a backpack near the body that was viewed by at least one mountaineer through a telescope. A snow trail near the body could indicate that other people had been walking with her and before her.

They just showed a film on TV of about 8 people hiking along a mountain ridge, and the last one falls down, shot. I wonder if this is the same one. The picture in the article looks like a different angle than what I saw.

No, some Chinese coward(s), disgracing the name soldier, murdered a harmless person and lied to make self(ves) sound like more than the slime they are.

Harmless? You underestimate the power of ideas and beliefs.

Remember the Rooskie who shot down that loaded passenger airliner was given a medal. When you control the media, lying isn't a difficult thing.


And I don't mean control the way disasterbating liberals whine about Fox News. I mean bang, bang, dead, dead.
