Today I have seen terrible images with the Chinese border guards shooting down Tibetan Pilgrims... It happened at 5.700 meters altitude in Himalaya, near the border with India.
The crimes were filmed by a Romanian cameraman - from PRO TV - and were wittnessed by a large number of alpinists of different nationalities from the camp. But all other alpinists watched the entire incident as if they were attending a theater play or a movie. Nobody took a camera to record the tragic event.
It was a sunny sharp day with crystal clear skies and immaculate snows. The row of Tibetan Pilgrims was advancing slowly in their way over the border to India to meet Dalai Lama. The Chinese soldiers - wearing fancy black sunglasses and smoking cigarettes start shooting them. One Pilgrim went down, but the row silently continued its march. Then a second pilgrim went down. Then another one. After this massacre, the Pilgrims were anyway arrested. One Pilgrim escaped and managed to hide himself in one tent from the alpinists camp. The Romanian cameraman gave him warm clothes, boots, fed him and kept him undercover from over 12 hours. The Chinese soldiers and their prisoners passed through the alpinist's camp. The soldiers were in a good mood, self content and relaxed as if nothing happened. After the soldiers and prisoners left the camp, the Romanian cameraman helped the Pilgrim to find the shortest way thorugh the mountains to India. The Pilgrim left the base.
The Chinese government released a statement saying - against all evidences - that the Pilgrims attacked the border guards thus forcing them to open fire in self-defense. The Pilgrims were poor people and half of them were teenagers between 14 and 18 years old. It seems that two of them were killed and another one injured. The Chinese soldiers inspected the bodies and left the two dead Pilgrims in the snow. Everything was filmed.
It seems that this footage shot by the Romanian cameraman is the first filmed evidence - in 47 years - of the genocide led by Chinese authorities against the Tibetan people.
For this I will post here two squares - one black and one white - for seven days.
This is how I can honour the memory of the two dead Pilgrims and of many others killed by Chinese authorities daily.
May their souls rest in Peace.
