Nepal Sarkar Needs To Set Up A Tribunal


There is an urgent need for the Nepal Sarkar to set up a tribunal that will look into the role of the state security forces in Nepalgunj in the last week of December, and also during the 21 days of the Madhesi Movement in eastern and central Terai.

This demand is basic. It is procedural. There is no way any legitimate, democratic government could avoid this. And if the Nepal Sarkar makes an attempt to sidestep this basic step, it will have lost its legitimacy and will be a legitimate target of a mass movement to get rid of it to install a more democratic, more representative government in place.

And if the Nepal Sarkar fails to do so, the Madhesi Diaspora will be compelled to take this matter into its own hands and in collaboration with the willing members of the larger Nepali Diaspora take this to the international courts as necessary.

A major crime has been committed in Nepal in the last week of December, and during the 21 days of the Madhesi Movement. Crime has to be followed by trial.

The public has a right to know what happened. Who gave the orders? When? Under what circumstances? And if national and international laws were broken, the guilty have to be brought to justice.

It is against the laws, for example, to shoot above the waist when the police are engaged in crowd control. But most martyrs were shot in the head. That is but one example.
