Nepal Police issue report on status of missing persons
font size    

Nepal Police have released a detailed report of the status of individuals who were on the disappearance and abduction lists of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).

The report issued here on Saturday claimed that the security forces have released 47 individuals who were on the commission's disappearance list.

Meanwhile, three individuals are in custody at detention centers while five were killed in clashes between the guerrillas and security forces, the report stated.

According to the report, the guerrillas have already released 214 individuals who were on the abduction list.

Likewise, the report claimed that nine individuals were killed in the guerrilla's captivity while one died in a clash between the guerrillas and security forces.

Out of the 73 abducted by unidentified groups, 14 have already been released.

Nepal Police submitted the report to the NHRC after the latter sought information regarding disappearance and abduction.

Although the NHRC had officially called on the Nepal Army, the government and the guerrillas to disclose the details of individuals on the disappearance and abduction lists, the commission is yet to get the details.

Following the announcement of a cease-fire in April, the guerrillas have been "extremely cooperative with us. They have been verifying the status of those in their captivity during our field visits to various parts of the country," an official working for the NHRC said.

"Since we have been receiving fresh complaints everyday, there are still about 600 unresolved disappearance and 100 abduction cases with the commission," he said on condition of anonymity.

He lauded Nepal Police for their hard work and cooperation with the NHRC. "It is evident that Nepal Police have done a lot of research for the report and we expect the same from the army," he added.
