Maina Sunuwar, a 15yearold girl, was allegedly tortured and died in the custody of
the (Royal) Nepalese Army (NA) in February 2004 at the Birendra Peace Operations
Training Centre in Panchkhal, Kavrepalanchowk District. Her body is reportedly buried
at the centre, where members of the NA are given training before being deployed on UN peacekeeping missions. As with other cases of human rights abuses, OHCHR has persistently advocated that those responsible be held fully accountable, and has
documented attempts to seek justice for the alleged torture and subsequent death of
Maina Sunuwar.
OHCHR maintains that justice has not been done in this case. It believes that police
should carry out a full investigation into the alleged torture and death of Maina
Sunuwar, with collaboration from the NA, and that the officers and soldiers alleged to be responsible should be brought before an independent civilian court.
