Save Tibet new images of aftermath of Nangpa La shooting
Posted: Oct 18, 2006 02:55 am EDT
The International Campaign for Tibet has posted new images from the Nangpa La pass shooting. The images depict police and possibly officials gathered around the body the day after the nun, 17-year old Kelsang Namtso, was shot dead. The images were taken through a telescope by a British climber at advance base camp on Cho Oyu at the time. A shovel can be seen planted in the ground by the body, which appears to confirm several eyewitness reports that the nun's body was buried where she died in the snow.
The images, taken at close range, also depict People's Armed Police personnel escorting a Tibetan who was apparently wounded - possibly by gun-fire, although this could not be confirmed - through advance base camp. According to several eyewitnesses, the Tibetan was walking with a limp and had to keep stopping to rest. The pictures also depict children being escorted by the soldiers through the camp.
