In the name of peace and protection of physical structures, killings and acts of violence by security personnel can never be accepted. 24 Bhadra Even the suppression of the protestors from early morning has become a matter of concern," the statement of the commission said, "Being sensitive to the risk of human rights violations and the demonstrations organized in various cities of the country, the commission has continued its monitoring even today. ’
In a democracy, the freedom of thought and expression is for everyone, the commission said that instead of addressing the voices of dissent raised by the new generation, the government took it lightly, the officials responsible for suppressing such voices gave apolitical expressions and the security personnel used excessive force to kill innocent children and youth. The commission said that it cannot be accepted in any sense.
It has been seen from the commission's initial monitoring that this type of incident has led to a serious violation of fundamental rights provided by the Constitution of Nepal and human rights guaranteed by international human rights law. The commission said, "It is necessary to immediately stop serious human rights violations such as killing people in the name of crowd control and law and order and address the voices of the new generation in time." ’
Taking lessons from past events, the Commission has instructed the Nepal government to take the demonstration seriously and not to consider the act of killing people as a general issue of peace and security in order to prevent further human and material damage in today's demonstration. In addition, the Commission has also requested the protesting parties to be responsible for making the demonstration peaceful, dignified and restrained.
