Parents of Detained Youth Submit Memorandum to Rastriya Swatantra Party Demanding Unconditional Release

Pokhara. A memorandum has been submitted to the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) demanding the unconditional release and withdrawal of cases against those arrested during the 'Gen-Z movement' held on Bhadra 23 and 24. Parents of the youth involved in the movement handed over the memorandum to RSP Kaski Chairman Yadu Adhikari during a program organized by the RSP Kaski to congratulate the newly elected candidates.

The victims expressed their belief that they will receive justice following the RSP's victory. The memorandum recalled the significant role played by the Gen-Z movement, driven by the active participation of youth, in displacing the then-government and charting a new political direction. Vivek Nalmi, representing the victim Rajan Shrestha and the parents, submitted the memorandum containing three key demands.

'It is not just in a democratic system that cases filed against various protestors during the movement remain pending and they have to remain in custody pending trial,' the memorandum stated. 'Since the RSP has already expressed sympathy and ownership towards the movement, we expect the new government to take positive steps in this matter.'

Their demands include the immediate withdrawal of all cases of a political nature registered during the Gen-Z movement, the immediate and unconditional release of protestors held in custody pending trial, and ensuring that citizens involved in the movement do not face any form of political vendetta or legal pressure.

Dipu Sai, Narayan Sai, Samar Nalmi, Rejan Ranjit, Keshav Bamjan, Khadak Bahadur Thapa, Buddha Khawas, Bina Malla, Ridham Karki, Elisha Gurung, Rupak Nepali, Mahendra Nepali, Sagar Rawat, and Anil Poudel, among others, facilitated the submission of the memorandum. A copy of the demands has also been forwarded to all three elected members of parliament from Kaski.
