Yangdon Chorasherpa, 27, a Tibetan woman living in Switzerland, has been deported to Nepal where she has been detained in prison and is reported to be critically sick. She had been trying to seek asylum in Switzerland, using the Nepali name Chorasherpa, Nepali documentation and claiming to be Nepali. A Swiss Refugee Relief spokesperson said “It is almost impossible for Tibetans to come to Europe with real papers”.
