Simone Moro, an Italian mountain climber, managed to reach the top of Everest but was forced to make his way down on the northern (Chinese) side. The Chinese authorities promptly took him for a spy, arrested him and expelled him.
*dies* Oh, that's kind of really hilarious. Sorry. My country does some really sodding stupid things but this is at least on the harmless side. At least he got back to Italy? =)
Well, I presume so, since I found his story on an Italian paper. There does not seem to have been any violence or anything involved - he was just chucked across the frontier.
