Murder in the snow - BBC programme last night

Murder in the Snow  told of the shooting by Chinese border guards of a group of Tibetans trying to escape across the mountains to India.  The stories of some of those who managed to reach sanctuary in Dharamsala in India were combined with the testimony of mountaineers from various nations who witnessed the shooting.  It was shown yesterday evening on BBC 2.  The documentary was in a series called This World that could hold more interest in future for Amnesty supporters. 

I have written before on this blog about this shooting at Nangpa La Pass.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
