Shankar Pokharel Views National Human Rights Commission Report as a Sign of Fear

May 28, Kathmandu – Shankar Pokharel, General Secretary of the CPN-UML, has described the National Human Rights Commission’s report as indicative of a fear-driven submission to power. In a comment shared on Facebook Thursday evening, General Secretary Pokharel expressed this view, stating, “The Human Rights Commission report reflects fear and submission to power.” However, he noted that compared to the commission led by Gauribahadur Karki, while the report is somewhat more detailed, it remains incomplete. “It is more detailed than the Karki commission but still incomplete. Fear affects everyone,” Pokharel added. The Human Rights Commission had just released a concise report on the events of September 8 and 9 on Wednesday. The published 29-page report includes the commission’s decisions and recommendations.
