China shoots Tibetans

A Romanian videotape that appears to show Chinese security forces shooting two Tibetan refugees in the Himalayas contradicts Beijing's claim that the refugees were shot by soldiers acting in self-defense...

The video, taken at long range, shows a slow-moving, single-file line of Tibetan refugees climbing over a snow- covered mountain pass followed by Chinese troops. A rifle shot is heard, and the first climber in the pack falls to the ground, followed by the climber at the end of the group.

A separate shot shows a uniformed Chinese soldier firing a rifle shot. It then shows several gun-toting soldiers examining the shooting victims and escorting some detainees back to a camp.
