Tibetan flag flown on Everest
(Phayul) After months of heavy security and climbing restrictions on Mount Everest by both the Chinese and Nepali governments, a 37 year old Jordanian climber Mostafa Salameh managed to smuggle a Tibetan national flag onto the mountain. He had written: "Free Tibet" and "Free Palestine" on the bottom of the flag, and had his photograph taken holding it on the summit of the 8848-metre peak on 25 May.
