February 1st, 2006 marked the completion of the first year of King Gyanendra's direct rule in Nepal. To many, this day is seen as a black day since, in the name of the "war on terror," the government of King Gyanendra has resorted to curbing civil liberties and heavy-handed crackdowns on the democratic forces in the country. Apart from highlighting some of the key aspects of the political and human rights situation in Nepal, the speakers will reflect upon the effects the political crisis has had on ordinary Nepali lives. Questions and answers will follow the presentations from the speakers.
This event is co-sponsored by: Nepalese Democratic Youth Council, USA
