UNITED NATIONS OFFICE OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN NEPAL PRESS RELEASE – 5 December 2006 Statement attributable to Kieran Dwyer Spokesperson of OHCHR­Nepal 5 December 2006
Abstract:
"OHCHR­Nepal is very concerned about violent demonstrations which have taken place these past few days in the Kathmandu Valley, in the context of student protests, and the excessive use of force by police in responding to the violence, as witnessed by its monitoring teams. "Demonstrators have the right to protest peacefully. In recent days our monitoring teams have witnessed stone­throwing and other forms of violence by demonstrators in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur which have resulted in injuries to police and damage to property. We urge all demonstrators and demonstration leaders to ensure that protests are peaceful and do not turn violent. #OHCHR #KIERANDWYER #PROTESTS #JANAANDOLAN
