Video footage shot by a Romanian television station appears to show Chinese soldiers firing at a group of Tibetans as they attempt to cross a mountain pass into Nepal, days after China defended the soldiers' action.
The video, taken by Romania's Pro TV, shows a line of people trekking through the snow when sounds of gunfire are heard and one of the figures crumples to the ground.
The footage is shot from too far away to make out identities, but a voice can be heard saying in English, "They are shooting them like dogs."
A group of climbers from Britain and Australia told Reuters last week that on September 30 they watched Chinese border guards take aim at a group of 20 to 30 people as they prepared to cross from Chinese territory into Nepal.
Tibet has been ruled by China since Communist troops invaded in 1950, and the government deals harshly with Tibetans who press for greater political and religious freedoms.
