TIbetan Nun's Body?

Allegedly a photograph of the body of a 17-year-old nun shot by Chinese military on September 30, 2006, though details are sketchy and inconsistent from report to report. According to the article in the title link, the image is confirmed to be that of 17-year old nun, Kelsang Namtso, from Nagchu prefecture in central Tibet. The nun was shot while crossing the pass into Nepal and exile in India. Tibetan sources claim another death of a 13-year old Tibetan while the Tibetan group claims that Chinese border security or military had taken at least ten group members, including at least nine children between the ages of six and eight before they were able to cross into Nepal.
