Maoists thrash NC-D worker
KATHMANDU, Nov 1 - In yet another blatant violation of the ceasefire code of conduct, Maoists brutally thrashed a Nepali Congress - (Democratic) activist in the capital.
On Sunday evening, Maoists abducted Prabin Khadka of Bishnu Budhanilkantha VDC-4 from Chu Fan Restaurant, Maharajgunj, and released him on Tuesday evening after beating him mercilessly. Khadka was admitted to Medicare Hospital, Chabahil, in the evening, with deep bruises on his soles, thigh and back.
Maoists handed over Khadka to his relatives at Brighter Tooth Paste Factory in Thimi. "After abducting me, they hit me with sticks on different parts of the body," Khadka, 30, said. He claimed that the Maoist tortured him and added that they had beaten him over a hundred times on the temple, charging him with being involved with gangsters Chakremilan and Tejendra.
The victim's brother Shyam Khadka said that before abducting his brother, the Maoists had threatened him (Shyam) over telephone and demanded he surrender to Maoists.
Binod Bhattarai, NC-D chairman of Kathmandu Constituency number 3, informed that Khadka was released when party president Sher Bahadur Dueba and minister of state Ramesh Lekhak took initiative in the matter.

Ah, the bearers of progress and humanity, proud heirs to Stalin-Mao-Pol Pot legacy, spreading the "good news" like the bruises on Prabin's body!
Same things happened in autumn 1947: 4-5 months before communist takover in Czechoslovakia. Democratic MP Dr. Hora complained of communists excesses of EXCATLY the same kind, while the country was still nominally democratic, to the then No.2 communist leader, General Secretary Rudolf Slánský. He laughed it away saying: "We have different democracy!". 2 years later he was arrested, tortured, and confessed. In 1952 they hanged him. His old comrades. Something Baburam Battarai should keep in mind: Revolutions, after devouring it´s innocent victims, tend to turn on it´s own: Trotsky, Slánský, Lin Biao.
Pity we cannot reverse the order...
Four Set Free from Maoist Custody in Bhaktapur
| THT Online |
| Kathmandu, November 2 A team of National Monitoring Committee on Code of Conduct for Ceasefire (NMCC) on Wednesday got the safe release of four civilians from Maoist custody in Bhaktapur. All of them were taken into Maoist custody on charges of hooliganism, possessing illegal arms and raising money posing as Maoists. The Maoists had detained all the four in a warehouse of an old carpet factory near Brighter Tooth Paste in Bhaktapur. The Maoists released the abductees in the presence of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) officials, the NHRC said in a statement, adding that the four were handed over to their families. The team led by NMCC member duo Taranath Dahal and Padam Lal Biswokarma on Wednesday visited the warehouse and set them free them from captivity. They had visited the place acting on a tip-off. The victims who were set free by the NMCC team were found to have been severely beaten up and blindfolded while in Maoist detention. Those released are Shyam Dahal of Maitidevi, Rajendra Man Shrestha of Gyaneshwor, Biswa Ram Maka of Bhaktapur and Daba Lama, a Nepali Congress cadre from Sindhupalchowk. After being brought to the Babarmahal-based NMCC office, NMCC member Dahal told reporters that they found the four persons blindfolded when they visited the warehouse-turned Maoist custody. Dahal said the local Maoists who were guarding the warehouse did not initially allow them to visit the place. But they managed to set them free after they contacted Maoist leaders and the local Maoist cadres cooperated with them. Dahal said that they, however, could not set free the fifth one named Subirman Singh Basnet running a poultry firm at Sitapaila, Kathmandu. A Maoist cadre said they had arrested him on charges of possessing a country-made pistol. Basnet admitted to possessing the pistol for his personal safety, according to Dahal. --- The kathmanduites are at last getting the same medicine the maobadboyz dished-out for 10 years in the countryside - kind of forced-learning by experience! All the huaghtiness and scorn of the King-hating media have now disapeared and nobody feels safe - first time in the Valley! Ah, such a lack of imagination - did they thought the blood-thirsty leopard will change spots and become children-friendly labrador? |
Just as I feared, predicted!
OHCHR-Nepal calls on CPN-Maoist to stop policing
Kantipur Report
KATHMANDU, Nov 1 - OHCHR-Nepal called on CPN-Maoist on Wednesday to stop its "law enforcement" activities which have intensified recently, especially in the Kathmandu Valley, and which have resulted in serious abuses of human rights. A press release issued on Wednesday by Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal (OHCHR-Nepal) stated, "OHCHR-Nepal considers these parallel "law enforcement" activities to be illegal, as well as in violation of international human rights standards to which CPN-Maoist has made repeated commitments. These commitments include the directives issued as a result of the CPN-Maoist Central Committee meeting on September 2. The directives explicitly state that party cadres shall not conduct abductions, torture and ill-treatment, and that those responsible for such actions will be held accountable." In a letter dated October 31 to CPN-Maoist leadership, OHCHR-Nepal noted that it had confirmed abductions of 39 individuals in the districts of Bhaktapur, Lalitpur and Kathmandu in October alone, added the release. The release further stated, the CPN-Maoist itself publicly declared on October 21 that more than 80 individuals had been taken into captivity, whom they accused of being linked to criminal activities.
"CPN-Maoist cadres have held individuals incommunicado in hidden locations – thus increasing their vulnerability to human rights abuses. In September and October, OHCHR-Nepal made visits to eight places where the CPN-Maoist held individuals in captivity in the Kathmandu Valley," stated the release, adding, "These places included several factory buildings occupied by the CPN-Maoist, and the offices of CPN-Maoist sister organisations, including the All Nepal Trade Union Federation (ANTUF) and the All Nepal Transport Workers Union (ANTWU)."
According to the OHCHR-Nepal release, it has received reports of at least seven other locations in Kathmandu Valley used by CPN-Maoist for the interrogation of individuals. Adding that OHCHR-Nepal has investigated a number of reports of ill-treatment and torture, including severe beatings, the release further added that OHCHR-Nepal staff have witnessed serious injuries among those held captive by CPN-Maoist, consistent with claims of ill-treatment and torture. OHCHR-Nepal has also at times been obstructed by CPN-Maoist cadres from gaining immediate access to those in captivity, stated the release, citing on several occasions in October, OHCHR-Nepal had to request the intervention of the CPN-Maoist leadership in order to get access to those being held, contrary to the party's April 16 statement of commitment to human rights and humanitarian principles that "OHCHR shall have the freedom to visit any location without obstruction". In its letter of October 31, OHCHR-Nepal had welcomed the assurances from the CPN-Maoist central and regional leadership regarding the party's policy to give OHCHR-Nepal full access to persons in CPN-Maoist captivity. However, it is imperative that such access be given immediately in order for OHCHR-Nepal to be able to fulfill its mandate, OHCHR-Nepal urged CPN-Maoist in the release. "OHCHR-Nepal calls again on the CPN-Maoist leadership to stop all parallel 'law enforcement' activities, and especially incidents of torture and ill-treatment. State authorities have sole responsibility to arrest and detain criminal suspects, and it is essential for the re-establishment of the rule of law that all parties respect this," said Sandra Beidas, Officer-in-Charge of OHCHR-Nepal.---
Duplicity and lies, and senseless, terrorist violence have always been the mark of the communist evil. Now it´s poor Neplais turn to taste the bitter, poisonous drops.
Who cannot learn from history si doomed to repeat it!
