In 2006, a newly ordained Tibetan Buddhist nun named Kelsang Namtso was shot and killed by the Chinese People’s Armed Police. She was traveling with a group of Tibetans making the grueling trek from Tibet to Nepal, fleeing their occupied country in the hope of practicing religious freedom in India. Instead, the peaceful Namtso found herself gunned down by gestapo forces. Witnessed by an international group of mountaineers and journalists, the murder is the subject of Jonathan Green’s book Murder In The High Himalayas.
