United Nations Concerns With The Death Of Three Females Including A Child In Bardiya
|
United Nations Human Rights Office in Nepal (OHCHR-Nepal) remains very concerned about the deaths of three females, including a 12 year-old child, in the Bardiya National Park on 10 March 2010 and considers that it is essential that the relevant authorities complete proper investigations with the full cooperation of the Nepalese Army and National park authorities. Two weeks after Nepal Army and National Park officials were involved in an incident where lethal force was used against alleged poachers in Bardiya National Park the relevant state authorities have been unable to complete their investigations in accordance with the law and their mandates. The Nepal
Army Act, as amended in 2007, provides the Nepal Police with jurisdiction to investigate incidents of alleged unlawful killings by Nepal Army officials.
