Worldwide Appeals goes YouTube

[darren_stranger]

Never seen an Amnesty appeal with an embedded YouTube vid before.  Seems kind of.. odd, but also begs to be propagated on something like el-Jay.

From http://www.amnesty.org.au/Act_now/action_centre/ap/china_children_tortured_in_custody :

"On 30 September 2006 a group of approximately 70 unarmed Tibetans who were trying to flee China were shot at by the Chinese border control troops at Nangpa pass in the Himalayas. The Nangpa Pass is a commonly used escape route for those fleeing China to Nepal.

The shooting was witnessed by an international group of mountaineers who videotaped one person, a 17 year old nun Kelsang Namtso, die at the scene and two others fall. At least 25 members of the group, 10 of whom were children, were taken into custody while the rest managed to escape to Nepal."

• Watch a video filmed by Romanian climber Sergiu Matei
