BEIJING (AP) - An activist group said Tuesday that Chinese forces detained a group of Tibetan children after border guards fatally shot at least one refugee trying to flee to Nepal across a Himalayan mountain pass.
Foreign mountain climbers saw soldiers march 10 to 12 frightened children aged 6 to 10 through their camp near Mount Everest after the Sept. 30 shooting, said the Washington-based International Campaign for Tibet. It didn't say where the children were taken.
The shooting took place in the 19,000-foot Nangpa La Pass, a commonly used escape route for Tibetans fleeing the Himalayan region.
