PRESS RELEASE
April 05, 2005, New York, USA

We, the Nepalese Democratic Youth Council in USA (NDYCUSA), the Alliance for Democracy and Human Rights in Nepal, and the United Democratic Forum, are deeply concerned about the brutal and merciless means resorted by King Gynendra’s authoritarian government to suppress the Seven Party Alliance’s peaceful demonstration scheduled for April 6-9 in Kathmadu (the capital city). We strongly condemn the arrests and harassments of political party leaders, cadres and civil society members.

Once again, by restricting free movement of people within their own country, declaring curfew, imposing ban on public gatherings, arresting and manhandling the protesters, the king’s government has revealed its true character and its intention to consolidate the king’s tyrannical and brutal regime. It is regrettable to hear that the government has prevented even the ambulances from going to Kathmandu fearing that people may come to Kathmandu to participate in the demonstration against the king’s rule.
We believe that these actions of brutal suppression reflect the defeated mentality of the king and his handpicked government. We strongly support the Seven Party Alliance and civil society’s ongoing movement for full democracy in Nepal. We will continue our support to the ongoing movement and we especially urge the political parties, civil society and other democratic forces to make a planned demonstration decisive one.

We strongly urge the immediate and unconditional release of all detained political leaders and activists and warn the government to respect people’s fundamental rights including the rights of peaceful assembly. If not, we also warn that if the government continues its violations of fundamental rights, it will have to bear the responsibility for the consequences of its actions to quell down the peaceful demonstration for full democracy. The history shows that those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. The human right violators, such as President Miloshevic of former Yogoslavia or President Taylor of Liberia, have been ultimately brought to justice regardless of how powerful they thought they were in their times.

Finally, we thank the US government and others for their strong condemnation of human rights violations by the royal regime in Nepal. We urge the US government and the international community to exert strong pressure including smart sanctions on the government of Nepal in order to make the king’s government to respect civil and constitutional rights of Nepalese people.

Sincerely,

Anand Bist (President)
Nepalese Democratic Youth Council in USA
Sanjaya Parajuli (President)

Tek Gurung (President)

This regime is going down. What Nepal is witnessing is an April Revolution.

When it comes to brute force, a democracy has more power at its disposal than any fascist regime, if you think about it.

The fascists in Kathmandu have unleashed the state machiney upon the people. They are in their last hurrah. They will have hell to pay.

The key is to document everything so perpetrators can be punished. Kamal Thapa will personally pay for jail time with jail time. He has put too many people in jail for too long. He will pay for it all. It is just a matter of time.

Document everything. Justice will be done by the democratic government once it takes over.

The people have enough strength on their own. Internatinal solidarity is but a bonus. The people are going to come out into the streets, and take over power, and the people are going to punish the fascists. All those army generals who have gotten into a bad habit of feasting on the people's money will have to vomit it all out. Money will have to be accounted for. Many will face a loss of liberty and property.

This king has a fundamental character flaw. Or he would be talking. He has fled to Pokhara, now he might have to flee Nepal.

The Maoists are hung up on the constituent assembly. How radical is that? That is nothing radical. He should take it.

Or the seven parties and the Maoists would be coalescing around the slogal of a democratic republic. The country will become a republic before it goes for a constituent assembly.

There is no alternative to a mass movement. And a mass movement is sufficient unto itself.

Girija Koirala has talked of both a ceremonial monarchy and a republic. Prachanda never hijacked a plane, Girija did. Unlike many of my friends, I think Koirala will go for a republic, if the movement becomes a revolution. He is a firebrand himself. So far he has been keeping in mind the political realties. But those ground realities are fast changing.
