Remarks on pending accountability issues in Nepal by Richard Bennett, Representative of OHCHR-Nepal, at the Reporters Club 29 July 2009
Abstract:
A High-Level Task Force established by the NA later in 2006 chose to present only the names of 12 individuals whom the NA claimed were not disappeared and effectively dismissed the allegations contained in OHCHR's report. Following up on the Army’s claims, my Office has carefully verified that 4 out of the 12 persons named in the NA Task Force report were eventually released, but only after being illegally detained for months and suffering ill-treatment which in some cases amounted to severe torture. One person died in NA custody and the fate of the other seven individuals named in the NA Task Force report remains unclear. OHCHR, at this stage, concludes that those seven individuals continue to be disappeared. #RICHARDBENNETT #RISHIDHAMALA #OHCHR #GON #BOMBING
