We just need one clarification from SPA (M). With the continuous Killing and abductions what gives you the mandate to rule Nepal? SPA which supports and gets support from Killer Terrorists. US and India – the great super powers (in)directly supporting Terrorism. Shout this out clearly people. Did anyone say, DOUBLE STANDARDS TOWARDS TERRORISM?
Check out some news from unreliable Kantipur, the official mouth-piece of the Goverment of SPAM.
OHCHR concerned over Maoist killings, abductions
Kantipur Report
KATHMANDU, June 27 – United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)-Nepal Tuesday said that it was seriously concerned over the Maoists’ “continuation of killings and abduction” in the past few weeks.
In a statement issued here today, the OHCHR said, “at a meeting with the CPN-M leadership on June 23 and in a subsequent letter of June 26, OHCHR raised its concerns regarding a series of abductions and killings attributed to CPN-M cadres in the Central Region, which have resulted in the deaths of nine individuals since May 3.”
The OHCHR said it also raised the cases of two individuals who were reportedly abducted in Kathmandu and severely beaten in Kavre. “In most of the cases, the victims were accused of ‘crimes’ or ‘offences’ and were apparently under investigation.”
“OHCHR remains concerned, however, that civilians continue to be abducted and held by the CPN-M in spite of repeated expressions of concern by OHCHR,” the statement said.
OHCHR also said it has continued to emphasize in its meetings with CPN-M leaders that abductions of civilians for any reason are in violation of CPN-M’s commitment to international human rights standards. “These abductions and related investigations and punishment fail to provide even minimum guarantees of due process and fair trial. As a consequence, victims of abductions are vulnerable to other violations of their human rights, particularly their right to life and physical integrity, as in the noted cases.”
“Civilians and CPN-M cadres suspected of criminal activity should be turned over to the relevant state authorities so that they can be investigated and where appropriate, prosecuted in a timely manner in accordance with international due process and fair trial standards,” the statement quoted officer-in-charge of OHCHR, David Johnson as saying.
