China's Butt Buddy Nepal Stoops To New Low, Nepalese Weasels Will Shoot Pro Tibet Protesters During Everest Climb

China's butt buddy, the brown nosing Nepalese Goverment has announced they will shoot any Pro Tibetan Protestors who try to interfere with China's attempt to reach the submit of Mount Everest...let us all pray that God smites down those attempting to take the torch to the submit, let us pray they befall a HORRID ACCIDENT on the face, extinquishing the flame once and for all, burying it at the highest peak in the world...how appropriate. Meanwhile, on a more realistic note, it is suggested that Protesters plan to either A) use overwhelming force of numbers in any attempt to interfere, or B) come armed. People have a right to self defense, and the Nepalese have drawn the line in the sand...they intend to shoot to kill.

Nepal: Everest pro-Tibet protesters may be shot

KATHMANDU, Nepal (CNN) -- Nepal has given its security personnel permission to shoot pro-Tibet demonstrators during China's Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest's summit early next month.

"About 25 soldiers and policemen have established camps on the mountain and they have been ordered to use force if necessary to stop any anti-Chinese activities," Mod Raj Dotel, spokesman for the home ministry, said Sunday. "This could mean shooting if necessary."

Security personnel will also check mountain climbers for non-essential expedition materials, Dotel added.

"If anyone is found with anti-Chinese material their permit will be canceled and returned from the mountain," he said.

Chinese climbers plan to take the Olympic flame to the top of the world's highest peak, at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet) as part of the global relay leading up to the August 8 opening of the Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Spring is the most popular season for climbing Mount Everest, which straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.

The Nepali government has granted permits to dozens of climbers from 30 expeditions this season.

But between May 1 and May 10, climbers are barred from going above 6,400 meters until the torch run is completed. China plans to take the Olympic flame to the summit sometime then.

Harsh weather conditions allow only about two opportunities in May for a push to the summit.

The Chinese have not allowed any expedition to climb the mountain from the north side, according the Kathmandu representative of the Tibet China Mountaineering Association.

China Needlessly Endangers Climbers On Mount Everest

In yet another story of GREAT SHAME for China and their lap dog comrades (the Nepalese Army), seems that military thugs, bruts in cahoots with the Chinese regime have put climbers on Mount Everest in grave and perilous danger by taking away their ability to communicate with the outside world. As the tensions from China's brutal raping of the Tibetan people continues, as China tries to shut down protests on the eve of the 2008 Beijing Olympics of Shame, these thugs in the Nepalese Army are aiding and abetting, have tried to shut down news getting out to the Western Media, and as a part of that goal, they have confiscated the laptops of world reknown climbers currently on mountain face. Nepal should also feel GREAT SHAME at their army's unscruplous behavior.

Olympic torch: Mountaineers cut off from world for fear of Tibet protests

Climbers on Everest have been virtually cut off from the outside world after the Nepalese Army confiscated their laptops, cameras and satellite phones to prevent protests against Chinese rule in Tibet while the Olympic torch is carried to the summit.

The mountaineers, including Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the British adventurer, are forbidden from staying higher than Camp 2 until May 10, when the torch is expected to reach the top of the world’s highest peak.

Nepal imposed the restrictions under pressure from China, which has closed its side of Everest to prevent protests during the torch’s ascent.

Climbers on the Nepalese side can use radios to communicate with each other, although their conversations are monitored by military “liaison officers” assigned to each expedition.

They can ask for permission to use their satellite phones, but must speak in front of the officers.

The only other way to communicate with loved ones, sponsors or fans is by sending runners with handwritten messages to Gorak Shep, the nearest village below base camp, where the rules do not apply.
