KATHMANDU, Feb 16: The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal (OHCHR-Nepal) said on Monday that lack of progress on the killing of Maina Sunar in the army custody five years ago is emblematic of the overall lack of accountability for human rights violations.



“OHCHR-Nepal encourages the government, once again, to ensure that the Nepal Army (NA) cooperates fully with the Nepal Police and the District Court in Kavre so that those responsible for the killing of Maina Sunar can be brought to justice,” said the statement.



The statement said justice has been denied equally to the families of Maina Sunar, to five students in Dhanusha district and hundreds of persons in Bardiya abducted and disappeared during the conflict, and to the families of more recent victims, including those killed in Dang district two days prior to the CA election, as well as Birendra Sah and Ram Hari Shrestha.
