Press Release

28 November 2008

In recent months the country has witnessed a spate of killing and intimidation in different parts of the country.

We strongly condemn all these acts of violence that have resulted in loss of innocent people. It is clear that whoever is responsible for such violence should be severely punished and all measures be taken to protect the lives of ordinary citizens under threat from their activities.

We find it deeply disturbing that the Nepal government has adopted double standards in dealing with the two equally deadly series of terrorist killings of Ritesh Rauniyar , Ashish Manadhar and Nirmal Pant, Pushkar Dangol.

On one hand Moist condemn the killings and on the other hand their sister organisation YCL is actively involve on those horrendous act. We strongly denounce those atrocities against the innocent people and specifically towards the people of different ideology.

In this context of utter hypocrisy of the Government we would like to demand the followings:

·         The Moist led government to stop all kind of violence by all means and create an atmosphere of healing and reconciliation. 

·        The Youth communist league should be dissolved with immediate effect in order to renounce absolute violent and demonstrate the commitment to build peace and prosperous Nepal.

·        We also urge to return back all the seized properties and stop all sorts of intimidation and torture in different parts of the country.

·        Stringent punishment for those organising and participating in killings and terror act.

·        Respect the rule of law and safeguard the fundamental human rights of the people.
