KATHMANDU, Nepal, April 20 (UPI) -- Nepal security forces have been authorized to open fire on pro-Tibet protesters while the Olympic flame is carried up Mount Everest, an official said.
"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. This could mean shooting if necessary," Home Ministry spokesman Mod Raj Dotel said Sunday, CNN reported.
Chinese climbers are set to carry the Olympic flame to the top of Everest as part of a worldwide relay before the Aug. 8 Olympic Games. Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world with a peak reaching 29,028 feet.
