National Human Rights Commission Releases Report on 'Genji' Movement
Kathmandu. The National Human Rights Commission has released an investigation report on human rights violations during the 'Genji' movement. The 29-page report examined the roles of the country's top political leadership to popular social media users (influencers) but remained silent on Kathmandu Metropolitan's then-Mayor and current Prime Minister Balen Shah.
The report released by the commission has depicted then-Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, and Communication Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung as the main culprits. Similarly, the then-Chief District Officer of Kathmandu, Chhabilal Regmi, who was central to the movement, has also been held responsible for human rights violations and recommended for action. However, the report does not mention any facts about Balen Shah's presence or role. It was reported that Balen had given a statement to the commission at that time.
The report includes a long list of popular personalities who participated in or expressed views during the movement on pages 20 and 27. Names such as actor Nishchal Basnet, influencers Sisan Baniya, Ravi Kiran Hamal, and Bhagya Neupane are mentioned.
Previously, the Karki Commission's report also did not hold Balen Shah guilty. The commission only included Balen's statement in its report. Although some have claimed that Balen also incited the Genji protestors, his role was not mentioned in the report.
