Press Release – 20 December 2009
OHCHR-Nepal Urges Restraint
|
“I recognise the right of the Police to keep clear the public highways and the right of demonstrators to protest peacefully, however I call on all groups to exercise restraint, to avoid provocation and to reduce tension through dialogue. Today’s display of violence was some of the worst on the streets of Kathmandu for several years, perhaps since Jana Andolaan-II. It must not be repeated and those responsible should be held to account“ said Richard Bennett, Representative of OHCHR-Nepal.
