 「SOSトーチャー」国際事務局は、信頼できる筋より、7月15日、ドラカ第4区のナムドゥ開発委員会のB.B.マハンタさんが、私服の武装したマオイストらしき見知らぬ男4人に殴られたという報告を受けました。

 情報によれば、7月15日、夜8時頃、マハンタさんは村人の一人に彼の家の近くにある近所の人の家に行くよう言われました。到着すると、4人の武装した男たちが彼を口汚く罵り始め、なぜマハンタさんが毛沢東派とその方針を批判するのだと詰問しました。彼は毛沢東派に反する活動を行い、他の民主政党を支持していると非難されました。次ぎに、彼の顔、頭、背中を殴り、続いて棒切れや鉄の鎖で30分近く体のあちこちを殴ったと伝えられています。その後、4人の男たちはどこかに去りました。

 マハンタさんは重傷を負い、ネパール拷問被害者センターで治療を受けました。

Case NPL 270705
Attack/Ill-treatment

The International Secretariat of OMCT requests your URGENT intervention in the following situation in Nepal.

Brief Description of the Situation

The International Secretariat of OMCT has been informed by a reliable source that on 15th July 25, Mr. B.B. Mahanta, of Namdu Village Development Committee, Ward No. 4, Dolakha, was beaten by four plain clothed but armed unknown persons, believed to be Maoist rebels.

According to the information received, on 15th July, at about 8pm, Mr. Mahanta was asked to go by one of the villagers to a neighbour's house close to his own. When arrived, four armed men began verbally abusing him, asking him why he was criticising the Maoist party and its policies. He was accused of working against the Maoist party and of supporting other democratic parties. He was then reportedly beaten on his face, head and back, then randomly beaten with a stick and iron chain for nearly half an hour. The four men then left.

Mr. Mahanta suffered severe injuries requiring treatment at the Centre for Torture Victims Nepal (CVICT).

The International Secretariat of OMCT is gravely concerned for the physical and psychological integrity of Mr. Mahanta.

Action Requested:

Please write a letter to the authorities in Nepal urging them to:

  1. Guarantee Mr. Mahanta physical and psychological integrity;
  2. Immediately order a thorough and impartial investigation into these events, in order to identify all those responsible, bring them to trial and apply the penal and/or administrative sanctions as provided by law;
  3. Ensure the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms throughout the country in accordance with national laws and international human rights standards.
