| The Nangpa La Tragedy: What is the Truth?
Nepali news media typically tend to ignore any high-voltage political dramas in the northern neighborhood. That is in line with a foreign policy which tends not to antagonize China in any way, particularly if it concerns Tibet. But the latest reports are apparently too disturbing to ignore for their news values. News dispatches quote eyewitnesses who say Chinese Border Security soldiers shot and killed a Tibetan near Nangpa La Pass on the morning of 30th September 2006. The victim was among a group of 75 Tibetans (17 children) trying to escape into Nepal from the northern border. A Romanian TV has been disseminating a footage of that shooting.
