Violence Against Families of Enforced Disappeared People
By KTM Metro Reporter
Families and relatives of the enforced disappeared people have staged their sit-ins at various government offices and even at the local UN office but nothing has happened so far for making the whereabouts of enforced disappeared people public. Ultimately, they have staged a sit-in at the entrance to the Bhairav Nath Battalion (BNB) of Nepal Army in Kathmandu on Tuesday, October 02, 2007 demanding to make whereabouts of the enforced disappeared people public. The United Nations Office of High Commission for Human Rights in its report has stated that the BNB had made 49 people enforced disappeared.
However, the current government headed by Girija Prasad Koirala was not in any mood to take actions against the perpetrators of crimes against the humanity despite the pressure put up by human rights organizations, civil society leaders and certainly by the relatives and family members of the victims of the crimes committed by the BNB. Is it not the Prime Minister perpetrating violence against the relatives and family members of the victims of the BNB letting the criminals go with impunity?
