“Chinese soldiers shooting tibetan pilgrims at mount everest”
These images were captured in the Himalayas by a member of a mountaineering expedition (don´t miss the interview to the cameraman).
The video was first broadcasted by the Romanian television, but it only gained worldwide attention when it was posted on YouTube.
The Chinese government had claimed the soldiers shot in self-defense, but the video seems to question its version .
The ubiquity and openness of technology is making harder to undemocratic governments to do business as usual. At the end of the day this democratic scrutinizing will elude every kind of censorship (including blocking access to broadband).
But something is missing in this picture. Can you figure out?
