Dear friends,
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received information from the Advocacy Forum, a local human rights NGO in Nepal, that a 30-year-old man named Upendra Timilsena was released from Mahabir Guan Himalaya Barrack, Chauni Kathmandu in the afternoon of 28 July 2004. He was illegally detained at the army barrack even though the Supreme Court ordered the Chief District Officer, Kathmandu to release Upendra Timilsena immediately and report to the Court after his release on 23 July 2004. Upendra Timilsena was illegally arrested by security personnel on 8 June 2004 and has been detained in Mahabir Guan Himalaya Barrack since then. AHRC has previously issued Urgent Appeals regarding this case on July 28 (UA-95-2004).
AHRC appreciate you very much for your support in this matter.
However, we would like to ask you to keep your eyes on the current situation in Nepal. For the last several months, the army and the police in Nepal have been repeatedly re-arresting people immediately after they are released through court orders, or have been simply refusing to release those detained illegally inspite of court orders in order to weaken the judiciary and rule of law in country. We will keep sending you the report regarding this issue.
