 KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - Five Americans who were detained on Mount Everest after protesting for Tibetan independance from China said Saturday they feared for their lives while being held by Chinese security guards and were deprived of sleep, food and water for hours.
They arrived in the Nepalese capital late Friday, three days after they were detained for demonstrating on the Mount Everest base camp, calling for independence for Tibet and protesting against the Beijing Olympics.
"The entire thing was fairly traumatic ... not sleeping for over 30 hours, being denied food and water for over 14, basically being psychologically terrorized," Shannon Service, of San Francisco, said Saturday in the Nepalese capital, Katmandu.
