Concerns raised over HR violation

BHARATPUR, JAN 13 - Human Rights activists at a talk programme here on Sunday expressed concern over the increasing rate of incidents of violation of human rights as a result of on going conflict in the country.
Speaking at a talk programme on "Present situation of human rights and our responsibility" organised by the Human Rights Protection Forum, Chitwan, central president of the forum, Padma Ratna Tuladhar, urged the monarch, parliamentarian parties and Maoist side to maintain a common understanding in order to give a way out to the existing problem.
Former Speaker Damannath Dhungana expressed the view that a political conference of greater people’s participation including the Maoists can only give a stable path for the country.
Chairman of Informal Sector Services Centre (INSEC), Subodh Raj Pyakurel, called upon both the government and Maoists side to give serious attention to protection of human rights.Posted on: 2004-01-14 04:18
