CPN UML Demands Correction of National Human Rights Commission's Recommendation

Kathmandu. CPN UML has demanded that the recommendation made by the National Human Rights Commission in decision no. 177 regarding the incident of Bhadra 23 and 24 be corrected. 

UML leader Mahesh Bartoula met the Chairman of the Commission, Tap Bahadur Magar, at the Commission's office on Thursday and submitted a request to correct the said point. 

Bartoula submitted the request to the Commission on behalf of former Prime Minister and CPN UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli, demanding that the recommendation in that point, which is inconsistent with the constitution, prevailing laws, and established norms and principles of international human rights, be corrected as it is prejudiced and unconstitutional. 

CPN UML has also stated that the Commission has not fully provided the documents and reports requested earlier on behalf of Oli from the Commission. 

“We have demanded certified copies of the report submitted to the Commission by the committee formed under the leadership of Lily Thapa for the investigation of the incident, and certified copies of all documents including which parts of the report the Commission accepted, which parts it removed or added, and the reasons and basis for such additions or deletions,” Bartoula said. “We have also asked for certified copies of the report and documents related to any investigation or study conducted.” 

The said point in the Commission's report mentions a recommendation to take action by making a law.
