National Youth Federation Nepal Demands Unconditional Release of ANNISU President Deepak Dhami and Other Leaders
Kathmandu. The National Youth Federation Nepal, close to the CPN-UML, has demanded the immediate and unconditional release of ANNISU President Deepak Dhami and others. Police had arrested Dhami and six other leaders of ANNISU during a demonstration at the south gate of Singha Durbar.
The Youth Federation has also stated that the arrest of student leaders including ANNISU Central President Dhami, who participated in a peaceful protest, clearly shows that the government is losing its ability to listen to the people and has reached a mentality of interpreting dissent as a crime.
“In a democracy, a government’s power is derived not from the right to silence citizens, but from the trust of the citizens. However, looking at the behavior of state bodies in recent days, the government appears more focused on creating an atmosphere of fear through the display of force rather than engaging in dialogue with its own citizens,” reads a statement issued by Youth Federation President Maharaj Gurung.
The Youth Federation has also warned that if the government continues to be indifferent to the aspirations of the people, the future of the youth, and democratic values and norms, the government itself will have to bear the entire political and moral responsibility for the resulting dissatisfaction and public pressure.
