We helped reported earlier the slaughter where Tibetans were shot-down
while trying to escape to India through a mountain pass. Recently, a
home was raided by the Chinese Public Security Bureau (equivilant to
U.S. FBI) and two Tibetans have been gathered for further investigation.
Also one Sherpa from Nepal has been detained; all are assumed to be
guides that are assisting Tibetan's into India. Llasa authorities have
not been able to comment on the situation.
It is not known where the guides have been taken; it was reported that steps were taken so that raid was could not be witnessed. The name of guide from Nepal isn't known.
FYI: A Flight from Llasa to Nepal takes about 1 hour. The same journey on land takes five grueling days, with air sickness, thick dust or bitter cold, usually at night to prevent from being shot-down.
