The Disappeared Family National Network and Advocacy Group for Transitional Justice among other groups organized a morning rally including pressure exerting programmes on the occasion of the 29th International Day of the Disappeared.[break]
Chairman of the Network Ram Kumar Bhandari expressed concern as the disappeared people were not made public and said the victim families have organized such protests nationwide.
He said the ordinances prepared to bring with an intention to give amnesty to the guilty of various crimes during the conflict without consultation with the concerned bodies, past agreement and ignoring the spirit of the Supreme Court verdict would create the feeling of revenge rather than reconciliation.
Reshma Shakya of Advocacy Group expressed concern over the ordinance submitted to President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav claiming the government has prepared the ordinance with an intention to give amnesty to any person involved in serious crime.
As many as 1,350 people were forcefully disappeared and around 1,700 citizens were killed, and thousands of people were displaced during the insurgency.
