Official, cop rob woman at TIA
KATHMANDU, DEC 18 - In a classic case of guardians of the law turning lawbreakers, an official at the Tribhuvan International Airport and a police constable robbed a woman returning from Saudi Arabia four weeks ago.
Sita Rai (name changed) on Sunday filed a complaint at the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) against the duo and said the she was sexually abused and robbed of 9,500 riyal (around Rs 218,000).
The woman from Bhojpur has named constable Parshu Ram Basnet and senior non-gazetted officer at the Department of Immigrations at the TIA , Somnath Khanal, in her complaint.
While police on Sunday arrested Basnet and is at the Metropolitan Police Range, Hanumandhoka, presently, Khanal is at large.
Spokesperson at the police range DSP Dhiraj Pratap Singh said Basnet told the police that Khanal fled with the money.
Rai, who had gone to Saudi Arabia via India, landed at the TIA on the night of November 21. She was carrying a fake passport in the name of Bimala KC, Rai admitted in her complaint.
The official and the policeman at the TIA seized her belongings and travel documents on the pretext of a 'regular check,' Rai said.
According to her, Basnet then took her to the New Bus Park to drop her. She was, however, forced to spend a night with him at a local guest house, she said.
"He paid all the bills at the guest house and bought a bus ticket to Bhojpur for me and left," Rai says in her complaint. She realised only later that the official s actually stole her money. "He paid for everything to make sure that I didn't reach for my purse," she says.
MoHA Secretary Navin Kumar Ghimire has formed a panel led by joint secretary Bhola Siwakoti to look into the case.
"I received the complaint today and talked with the victim. We are not in a position to comment until the probe panel prepares the report," Ghimire said.

http://my.news.yahoo.com/raped-robbed-nepali-migrant-worker-overlooked-rights-group-054003857.html
Kathmandu (The Kathmandu Post/ANN) - Just as Nepal was wrapping up its "16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence", the case of Sita Rai (name changed) hit the newsstands.
Rai, a 21-year old migrant worker, was robbed by immigration officials upon her arrival from Saudi Arabia at the Tribhuvan International Airport and subsequently "raped" by a police constable.
Despite the fact that her plight came to light on the heels of a national campaign against gender-based violence, human rights organisations and much of civil society have remained silent on the issue. Rai has been fighting the case on her own.
"I am disappointed that nobody stood by her. It is time for activists and rights organisations to ask themselves whether they only want to run donor driven programmes or respond to the needs of society," said women's rights activist Dr Arzu Rana Deuba.
She was quick to admit her own inaction and blamed it on the existing state of impunity in the country, referring to the government's blanket amnesty to perpetrators of human rights violations and wartime crimes.
"When such perpetrators are walking scot-free in society, people tend to be sceptical and ignore what is going on around them," she said.
Rai lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Home Affairs on December 16, many days after the incident had occurred.
She named police constable Parshuram Basnet and senior non-gazetted officer at the Department of Immigration (DoI) Somnath Khanal as the culprits.
A home ministry probe committee led by joint-secretary Bhola Shiwakoti uncovered the involvement of high-ranking officials.
However, only two section officers Ram Prasad Koirala and Tika Pokharel, along with Khanal, were found to be directly involved in swindling Rai.
The ministry suspended its three officials, while constable Basnet has been remanded to police custody for further investigations.
"This is the height of crime, where government officials rob and ultimately rape a service seeker," said UML leader Urmila Aryal.
"We have government and non-governmental institutions to speak for women. Why don't they speak for her?" asked Aryal, calling on the National Women's Commission (NWC) to take the lead in the absence of a parliament.
NWC member Mohana Ansari says that she only came to know about the case when the victim lodged a complaint with the commission on Monday.
"She is in a precarious situation. We are taking this case very seriously," she said.
Bishal Khanal of the National Human Rights Commission echoed Ansari. "We came to know about the case late. We have already taken up the issue as a complaint has already been registered," he said.
Lawyer and rights activist Mandira Sharma said she has been closely monitoring the case. Referring to the suspended officials, she argued that simple departmental action is not enough. "This is a criminal case that requires a thorough investigation," she said.
Given that it is state employees who robbed and raped an illiterate migrant worker, Sharma said that it is the state's crime against an individual.
Meanwhile, neighbouring India is currently aflame with protests over the brutal gang-rape of medical student in Delhi.
In Nepal, the silence is deafening. Rights organisations that are so quick to take up media-friendly cases have yet to comment, barely issuing a statement.
"When have we really ever spoken out in such a case?" asked activist Dr Renu Rajbhandari. "We seldom stand up for such causes."
Activists argued that the government has taken up the case now and they are waiting a verdict. "They [the perpetrators] should be doubly penalised," Deuba demanded.
Aryal pushed for life imprisonment, while Sharma asked for punishment under criminal law.
The activists are concerned for Rai and her physical and mental state. "I found her in a precarious situation. Can you imagine her state of mind?" asked Ansari.
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai had launched the national campaign with a televised address directing heads of security agencies and government bodies to take stern action against those found turning a deaf ear to complaints of gender-based violence.
"PM Bhattarai has made a mockery of his own promises of zero tolerance on violence against women," said Rajbhandari.

People like Urmila Aryal or Arzoo Deuba don't feel a bit of shame talking only about what others should have done and completely ignoring what they DIDN'T do. They are probably running a fat NGO for women's rights. This is where so many MUSHROOMED nepali organizations abroad could have stepped and the least they could have done is to give a statement demanding for the justice; they wouldn't do that because they're busy organizing dance parties and fashion shows. They probably think that they will never be cheated at the airport and become victims. What is NRN doing? Is it only about investments?

Looks like one organization has picked up the fight as of yesterday. I salute you Nepalunites. Thanks for standing up in the face of injustice. The young minds are probably the only hope for Nepal right now.

PM declines to accept Rai's petition

Activist, police scuffle in Baluwatar
KATHMANDU, DEC 28 -
An amalgam of young activists staged sit-in outside Prime Minister's official residence in Baluwatar demanding justice forSita Rai (name changed) who was robbed and allegedly rape d by a government employee.
Some 200 activists and commoners including CNN Hero Pushpa Basnet, among other representatives from the society, also turned up at Baluwatar to express solidarity with their campaign this morning. They have launched a campaign on Twitter and Facebook and put up a petition online to press the concerned authorities to book the guilty in accordance with the law.
The activists reached Baluwatar at 9 this morning to submit the petition report. However, police on duty did not allow them to trespass gate no.3 of the residence saying the area was 'No Entry' zone.
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai is also learnt to have declined to accept the petition.
It has been reported that the activists scuffled with police during the process of demonstration. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Bhattarai left for Pokhara to participate in one of the programmes during the protest.
Rai, a 21-year old migrant worker, was robbed by immigration officials upon her arrival from Saudi Arabia at the Tribhuvan International Airport and subsequently “ rape d” by a police constable.
On Thursday, the government had decided to dole out Rs 150,000 in compensation to Rai and to take stern action against the accused. However, the government so far has not taken any action against the two officers except suspending them for two months.
Sita, a native of Bhojpur, had lodged a complaint last Sunday at the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) against Somnath Khanal, a first class senior non-gazetted officer and constable, Parshuram Basnet, accusing them of robbing her of Rs 218,000 at the airport on November 21.
Based on a report prepared by a joint secretary-led probe panel, the MoHA on Monday had suspended other section officers Ram Prasad Koirala and Tika Pokharel for their involvement in the case. Although Basnet and Khanal are in the police custody, two officers are still at large.
According to a ministry source, Koirala and Pokharel will face a fraud charge. The victim has pressed the government to charge the officers on a case of abuse of authority.

even though out of context topic but its quite educating
SINGAPORE: The 23-year-old girl, who put up a brave battle for life after she was gang-raped and brutally assaulted in a Delhi bus a fortnight ago that had created a nationwide outrage, died early on Saturday morning in a hospital here.
The girl, was admitted to the well-known multi-organ transplant facility Mount Elizabeth Hospital here on Thursday morning in an extremely critical condition, breathed her last at 4:45am (2:15am India time). She was earlier treated at the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi.
"We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4.45am on 29 Dec 2012 (Singapore time)," the hospital's chief executive officer Dr Kelvin Loh said in a statement.
"Her family and officials from the High Commission of India were by her side. The Mount Elizabeth Hospital team of doctors, nurses and staff join her family in mourning her loss," the statement said.
The body has been moved to the mortuary in the Singapore General Hospital for completion of some formalities since she is a foreigner, sources said.
The family of the girl wants the body to be taken to India, Indian High Commissioner T C A Raghavan told reporters.
He said the girl, who was conscious, fought a brave battle till the end. She was brought to Singapore for being provided good medical treatment.
"The family is shattered by this development. At the same time, they realised that best possible medical attention was given. And in the end it was the scale of injuries that proved too much for the medical attention provided to her," the envoy said.
He said the final few hours was a trying time for the girl's family and they bore the entire process with a great deal of fortitude and courage.
Raghavan said the family has requested that their privacy be respected in their hour of grief.
The girl, accompanied by her parents, was was flown in an air ambulance in a critical condition on Wednesday night after her health had suffered a setback that morning in the Delhi hospital following a government decision over which experts were divided.
The six-hour journey itself was said to have been eventful with her blood pressure having dipped alarmingly.
The patient had remained in an extremely critical condition since admission to hospital in the morning of December 27 (Singapore time), the Mount Elizabeth hospital statement said.
"Despite all efforts by a team of eight specialists in Mount Elizabeth Hospital to keep her stable, her condition continued to deteriorate over these two days."
The hospital statement said "She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome."
"We are humbled by the privilege of being tasked to care for her in her final struggle. We acknowledge the faith the Indian government and the patient's family have placed with us to ensure the best care possible was indeed provided to her at Mount Elizabeth Hospital," it said.
"We share their huge sadness at her passing and will work with the High Commission of India to provide the family support in this time of grief," said Dr Loh.
Late last night, the hospital said the condition of the rape victim had taken a "turn for the worse".
"As of 9pm (6:30pm IST), the patient's condition has taken a turn for the worse. Her vital signs are deteriorating with signs of severe organ failure," Loh had said in a statement.
"This is despite doctors fighting for her life including putting her on maximum artificial ventilation support, optimal antibiotic doses as well as stimulants which maximise her body's capability to fight infections," the CEO had said.
During her treatment in Safdarjung Hospital, the girl's condition had recorded several ups and downs. Three days after the attack, her gangrenous intestine was removed.
The bestial attack on the girl and her male friend in the bus had sparked off protests by students and women activists which took a violent turn in the capital last Saturday and Sunday.
Death for rapists was one of the demands of the protesters and the victim's demise could trigger fresh display of emotions on the streets.
One of the Delhi police constables Subhash Chand Tomar died in a government hospital on Tuesday and the post-mortem report had said that he had suffered a cardiac arrest from complications arising out of injuries on his chest and neck.
Shaken by the public outrage, government constituted a Commission of Inquiry into the incident and also set up a three-member Committee under former Supreme Court Chief Justice A S Anand to look into the possibility of rewriting the laws relating to aggravated sexual assault and enhancing penalty for it.

Gang-rape comes to light after 10 days
KATHMANDU, DEC 29 - A girl was gang-raped on December 19 at Aaurawani in Sunsari district.
According to police Inspector Suman Timilsina, she was raped by three men on her way back from a fair.
Timilsina said they were searching for the six suspects that the victim's family has named in a complaint. However, he refused to disclose the names lest the suspects should flee.
The case came to light only 10 days after the incident due to pressure from political parties and locals to cover it up. The victim's kin say the guilty are relatives of local political leaders. "Party leaders from the central to local levels offered us money to press that we forget the case," one of the victim's relatives said. "We want justice," he said.
The victim is in custody of a local nongovernmental organisation after treatment.

We think we're safer from these corrupt crooks because we live in western world?

काठमाडौं। साउदीअरबबाट फर्किएकी एक युवतीको २ लाख रुपैयाँ खाने अध्यागमन विभागको मुद्दा शाखाका निर्देशक लेखनाथ पोखरेल, शाखा अधिकृतद्वय रामप्रसाद कोइराला, टीका पोखरेल र नासु सोम खनाललाई निलम्बन गरी कारबाही अगाडि बढाउनुपर्नेमा बचाउने चलखेल सुरु भएको छ। सत्ताको नेतृत्व गरेको एमाओवादी निकट कर्मचारी संगठन राकसका पदाधिकारी र नेपाली कांग्रेस निकट कर्मचारी नेताहरू नै सामेल भएको कुकर्मबाट ती कर्मचारीलाई उन्मुक्ति दिने चलखेल सुरु भएको गृहमन्त्रालय सूत्रले बतायो। कर्मचारीलाई जोगाएर प्रहरी जवान पर्शुराम बस्नेतको टाउकोमा सम्पूर्ण दोष थोपर्ने खेलमा राकस र युनियनले दबाब दिन लागेका छन्। यो काण्डको छानबिन गर्ने जिम्मेवारी पाएका सहसचिव भोला शिवाकोटीले कर्मचारी जोगाउन लागेको आरोप छ।
पासपोर्टमा नाम र फोटो परिवर्तन गरी भारतको बाटो हुँदै साउदीमा पुगेकी विमला केसी (नाम परिवर्तन) २०६९ मंसिर ६ गते नेपाल फर्किदा त्रिभुवन अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विमानस्थलमा सही नाम बताएपछि अध्यागमनका यी कर्मचारी र विमानस्थल सुरक्षागार्डका प्रहरी जवान पर्शुराम बस्नेतले ती युवतीबाट उनको सम्पूर्ण कमाइ त लुटे नै प्रहरी जवानले उनको अस्मिता पनि लुटेको कुरा सार्वजनिक भइसकेको छ। ती युवतीले २ बर्षसम्म साउदी अरबमा कमाएको सम्पूर्ण रकम लुटी बलात्कार गर्नेहरूलाई तत्काल निलम्बन गर्नुपर्नेमा उल्टै जोगाउने खेल भइरहेको मन्त्रालय सूत्र बताउँछ। यसले नेपालको अध्यागमनका कर्मचारीहरू कति हदसम्म गिरेर भ्रष्टाचार गर्दारहेछन् भन्ने कुरालाई खुलासा गरेको छ। अध्यागमन कार्यालय एयरपोर्टका नासु सोम खनाल र प्रहरी जवानले ती युवतीलाई पैसा असुल्न तर्साएर विभागमा लगी बर्ष काम गरी फर्किएकी गृहमन्त्रालयले सहसचिव भोला शिवाकोटीको छानबिन समितिले बचाउन खोजेको गुनासो छ। डेचेन शेर्पा प्रकरणमा कार्यालय सहयोगी पूर्णबहादुर बस्नेत सहितको मिलेमतोमा भएको असुली काण्ड होस् वा पछिल्लो पटकको यो काण्ड अध्यागमन घुसखोरीमा बदनाम हुँदै गएको छ।
पटक पटक मौका पाउने कर्मचारी नै दोषी
सरुवासम्बन्धी ऐन नियम र मापदण्ड विपरीत पटक पटक अध्यागमन कार्यालयमा सरुवा भएका केही भ्रष्ट कर्मचारीहरूकै कारण अध्यागमन कार्यालयमा अनियमितता बढेको कुरा प्रशासनिक नेतृत्वलाई थाहा छ। तर राजनीतिक नेतृत्व र ट्रेड युनियनको चर्को दबाब झेल्न नसक्दा भ्रष्टाचारमा मुछिएका, पटक पटक अध्यागमन चाहारिसकेकाहरूलाई नै पटक पटक अध्यागमनमा खटाउने गरेको छ। पछिल्लो समय युवतीको २ लाख रुपैयाँ लुट्नेहरूमध्ये रामप्रसाद कोइराला नेपाली कांग्रेस निकट निजामती कर्मचारी युनियनको केन्द्रीय अध्यक्षमा तीन पटक हारेका हुन्। दुई पटक भवानी थानीसँग पराजित उनी पछिल्लो पटक सुबोध देवकोटासँग पराजीत भएका थिए। हाल उनी युनियनको सल्लाहकार समितिको संयोजक हुन्। त्यस्तै नासु सोम खनाल एमाओवादी निकट राकसका सदस्य हुन्। राकस र युनियनको मिलेमतोमा अध्यागमनमा अनियमितता मौलाएको कुरा त साँघुले २०६८ साउन २८ गते नै प्रकाशित गरेको थियो।
युनियन–राकस भागबण्डामा अध्यागमन कार्यालय संचालित हुन थालेपछि रातो पासपोर्ट दुरुपयोग, डेचेन शेर्पा प्रकरणपछि अहिले युवती लुट काण्ड घटेको छ। घुसखोरीका लागि बदनाम अध्यागमन कार्यालयमा राकस–युनियन मोर्चाबन्दी गराउने काम युनियन समर्थक अध्यागमन प्रमुख बेदप्रसाद लेखकले गर्दैआएका छन्। उपसचिव हुँदा पनि लेखक अध्यागमन कार्यालय एयरपोर्टमै थिए। केही महिनाअघि अष्टे्रलिया जान लागेकी एक युवतीसँग भिसाको आकार सानो भएको बहानामा २ लाख रुपैयाँ घुस माग्ने चुडा भट्टराई, उद्धव पनेरु र धर्म न्यौपानेलाई विना कारबाही पुनः एयरपोर्टमै फर्काइएको कुराले दण्डहीनता मौलाएर हाकाहाकी विदेश जाने र आउनेहरू अध्यागमनमा लुटिने गरेका छन्। घुस खाएको आरोपमा गृहसचिवले नै कारबाहीस्वरुप विभागमा फर्काइएका उनीहरूलाई पुनः सोही स्थानमा लगेर पुरस्कृत गरिएको थियो। आकर्षक कार्यालयबाट आकर्षकमा सरुवा हुन नपाइने निजामती सेवा नियमावली कागजको खोस्टो सावित गर्दै २४ (घ१)का शाखा अधिकृत रामप्रसाद कोइराला अध्यागमनमा कति बर्ष बसे भन्ने प्रमाण नै साँघुले फेला पारेको छ। इलामबाट २०४६ जेठ २६ गते बरिष्ठ अध्यागमन सहायकको रुपमा अध्यागमन विभागमा सरुवा भएका उनी त्यसपछि अधिकांश समय विभाग र एयरपोर्टमै कार्यरत रहे। २०४९ माघ २० गते विशेष प्रहरी विभागमा सरुवा भएका उनी पुनः २०५२ पुस १९ गते पुनः अध्यागमन विभागमा पुगे। २०५३ असार ११ गते विभागबाट पुनः अध्यागमन कार्यालय एयरपोर्ट सरुवा भएका कोइराला २०५४ माघ २३ गते अध्यागमन कार्यालय कोदारी सिन्धुपाल्चोकमा खटिए तर उनी कोदारी नगई पुनः एयरपोर्टमै थमौती भए। २०५७ जेठ १२ गते गृहमन्त्रालयमा सरुवा भएका उनी २०६४ फागुन २२ गते विशेष बढुवाबाट अधिकृत हुँदा पुनः एयरपोर्ट अध्यागमनमै थिए। २०६५ फागुन २० गते गृहमन्त्रालयमा सरुवा भएर बढुवा समायोजन भइसकेपछि २०६८ साउन २७ गतेदेखि पुनः एयरपोर्ट अध्यागमनमै बसी घुस खान मस्त छन्। २०७२ भदौ ७ गते अवकाशमा पर्ने कोइराला यसबीचमा कति बर्ष एयरपोर्ट अध्यागमन बसे होलान् भन्ने कुरा यो तथ्यले नै खुलासा गरिसकेको छ। मोरङको सामान्य हैसियतका कोइरालाले अध्यागमनमा बसी अकूत सम्पत्ति आर्जन गरेर काठमाडौंको अनामनगरमा विशाल महल बनाउन सफल भएका छन्। कोइरालाले अध्यागमनमा हालसालै गृहमन्त्रालयका सचिव नवीन घिमिरेलाई बुझाउनुपर्छ भन्दै गरेको अर्को अनियमिततामा पनि छानबिन हुने भएको छ।
त्यसमाथि युनियनका फणिन्द्र पोखरेल अध्यागमन र एयरपोर्टमा आफ्नो टिम सेटिङ गरी आफू विभागमा सरुवा भएका थिए। उनले उपसचिव सुरेन्द्र पौडेललाई घुसखोरीको सेटिङ मिलाउन एयरपोर्टमा सरुवा गराएका थिए।
पटक–पटक अध्यागमनमा बसेकाहरूमा कार्टोग्राफर अधिकृत रामचन्द्र कार्की, २४ (घ१) का अधिकृतद्वय राजेश पोखरेल र दुर्योधन कार्की छन्। त्यस्तै अधिकृतहरू भीमप्रसाद पोखरेल र उद्धव पनेरु, नासु मधुसुदन दाहाल लगायत छन्। त्यसो त गच्छेदारको सचिवालयमा बसेका भीमप्रसाद पोखरेल एयरपोर्ट अध्यागमन र गृहको कर्मचारी प्रशासनमा बसेका अर्का अधिकृत फणिन्द्र दाहाल अध्यागमन विभागमा खटिएका छन्।

From the same news source - ekantipur, one news say "gang rape"; another news call it यौन दुर्ब्यबहार
I don't think both means the same.

के डेढ लाखमा बलात्कार गर्न पाइन्छ ?
काठमाडौं, पुस १५ -बालुवाटारस्थित प्रधानमन्त्री निवास अघिल्तिर प्लेकार्ड बोकका धर्नाकारी छन्। तीमध्ये एउटीको छातीमा टाँसिएको कागजमा सोधिएको छ, 'के डेढ लाखमा बलात्कार गर्न पाइन्छ?'प्रहरी र अध्यागमन कर्मचारीबाट विदेशमा कमाएको धन र इज्जत लुटिएकी भोजपुरकी सीता राई (नाम परिवर्तन) लाई सरकारले क्षतिपूर्तिस्वरुप डेढ लाख दिने निर्णय गरेकोमा आपत्ति जनाउन उनीहरु धर्नामा बसेका हुन्।
'पीडकलाई कारबाही गर्नुको साटो पीडितलाई पैसा दिएर नारी अस्मिताको उपहास गरियो, त्यसविरुद्ध यो स्वतस्फूर्त धर्ना हो,' अधिकारकर्मीहरू भन्दै थिए, 'बलात्कारीविरुद्ध मुद्दा दर्ता नै नगर्ने, पीडितलाई डेढ लाख दिएर पन्छने, यो कस्तो न्याय?'
साउदी अरबबाट मंसिर ३ गते स्वदेश फर्कंदा त्रिभुवन अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विमानस्थलमा अर्कैको पासपोर्टमा राई विदेश गएको खुलेको थियो। उक्त कमजोरीको फाइदा उठाउँदै प्रहरी र अध्यागमन कर्मचारीले राईले कमाएर ल्याएको पैसा र इज्जत लुटेका थिए। घटना सार्वजनिक भएपछि बिहीबार सरकारले पीडितलाई राहतस्वरुप १ लाख ५० हजार रुपैयाँ दिने निर्णय गरेको थियो।
प्रदर्शनकारीका अनुसार बलात्कारमा संलग्न प्रहरी जवान पर्शुराम बस्नेत र लुटपाटमा संलग्न अध्यागमनका नायब सुब्बा सोमनाथ खनालमाथि सरकारले फौजदारी अभियोगमा मुद्दा दर्ता गर्नसमेत आनाकानी गरिरहेको छ।
'पैसा लुटी बलात्कार गरेको' समाचार सार्वजनिक भएको लामो समय बिते पनि दोषीलाई कारबाही नगरेको र घटनामा सरकार पूरै उदासीन रहेको भन्दै प्रधानमन्त्रीमातहत रहेको महिला सशक्तीकरण समन्वय समितिको सल्लाहकारबाट आरजु देउवाले बिहीबार नै राजीनामा दिएकी थिइन्। त्यही दिन सरकारले पीडितलाई राहत रकम दिने निर्णय गरे पनि दोषीलाई कारबाही अघि नबढाइएपछि प्रदर्शनकारी स्वतस्फूर्त सडकमा उत्रिएका हुन्।
'राज्यले दोषीलाई विभागीय कारबाही गरेरमात्र उन्मुक्ति दिइरहेको छ। जघन्य अपराध पुष्टि भइसक्दा पनि सरकारले फौजदारी अभियोगमा मुद्दा चलाएको छैन,' अधिकाकर्मी रेणु राजभण्डारीले भनिन्, 'कानुनअनुसार कारबाही हुनुपर्छ, विभागीय कारबाहीले मात्र हुँदैन।'
बिनाआयोजक गरिएको 'स्वतन्त्र नागरिक अभियान' ले बाँडेको पर्चाअनुसार पीडित राईलाई प्रहरी हवल्दार बस्नेतले गेस्ट हाउसमा लगेर बलात्कार गरेको तथा सुब्बा खनालले उनले ल्याएको २ लाख १८ हजार त्यहीबेला लुटेर रित्तो हात फर्काइदिएको उल्लेख छ। बस्नेतले घर पुर्या इदिन्छु भन्दै झुक्याएर गेस्ट हाउस लगेर बलात्कार गरेको र खनालले पैसा लुटेको पीडित युवतीको भनाइ छ। उनले थापाथली प्रसूतिगृहमा जचाउँदा आफू गर्भवती भएको रिपोर्ट आएको' समेत सार्वजनिक गरिसकेकी छन्।
'दोषीलाई कारबाहीको सट्टा राहतमात्र दिने काम गरेर सरकारले बलात्कारको मूल्य तोक्ने काम गरेको छ,' धर्नामा सहभागी त्रिचन्द्र कलेजकी विद्यार्थी रमिला श्रेष्ठले नागरिकसँग भनिन्, 'हामी कसैमाथि गरिएको बलात्कारको मूल्य सरकारबाट खोजिरहेका छैनौं, हामी दोषीलाई कारबाही भएको हेर्न चाहन्छौं।'
प्रधानमन्त्री बाबुराम भट्टराईले महिलामाथि पछिल्ला दिनमा भएको हिंसाले आफूलाई चिन्तित बनाएको भन्दै कारबाही गर्ने प्रतिबद्धता जनाए। 'तर ठूलै दबाब नदिईकन दोषीलाई कारबाही गर्नुहुन्छ भन्ने हामीलाई विश्वास लागेको छैन,' अभियानमा सहभागी अर्पण श्रेष्ठले भने। उनका अनुसार महिला हिंसाविरुद्ध र न्यायको पक्षमा बालुवाटारमा 'क्यान्डल लाइट' प्रदर्शन गरिएको छ।
शुक्रबारदेखि सुरु भएको धर्नामा सञ्चारकर्मी नारायण वाग्ले, मिस नेपाल सदीक्षा श्रेष्ठ, कराँते खेलाडी दीपक विष्ट, कलाकार नम्रता श्रेष्ठ र कर्मा, पर्यटन व्यवसायी प्रचण्डमान श्रेष्ठ, अधिकारकर्मी मन्दिरा त्रिपाठी, लीली थापा, बन्दना राणा, अधिवक्ता रमण श्रेष्ठलगायत ऐक्यबद्धता जनाउन बालुवाटार पुगेका थिए।
धर्नाकारीले अनामनगरस्थित कृष्ण प्रसार्इंको घरमा 'रहस्यमय मृत्यु' भएकी सरस्वती सुवेदी, गत असार १६ देखि हराइरहेकी छोरीमैंया महर्जन, जलाएर मारिएकी नेपालगन्जकी हासमी र बाराकी एक बालिकालाई पनि न्याय दिनुपर्ने र दोषीलाई कारबाही गर्नुपर्ने माग गरे। 'दण्डहीनताभन्दा पनि दण्डहीनताको पक्षमा उभिने सरकारदेखि डर लागेको छ,' अधिकारकर्मी त्रिपाठीले भनिन्, 'जबसम्म पीडितले न्याय पाउने सुनिश्चित हँुदैन, बालुवाटारमा धर्ना जारी रहन्छ।'

To: Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai
14 Poush 2069 (29 December 2012)
Prime Minister’s Office
Singha Durbar
Subject: Justice and Rule of Law
Dear Prime Minister Bhattarai,
We are alarmed by the increasing incidences of violence against women across the country. As conscientious citizens we have been especially horrified by the looting and rape of “Sita Rai” by representatives of your government, on-duty civil servants of the Immigration Department and a police officer.
We are also alarmed by the police’s predatory “inquiry” into the mysterious death of Saraswoti Subedi. The body of the 31-year-old widow and mother was found in Anamnagar - minutes away from your office - where she was employed as a domestic worker in Krisha Parsai’s house.
The frequency of such cases, Chori Maya Maharajan, Shiwa Hasmi and Bindu Thakur to name just a few, are disturbing. The inevitably shoddy investigation that always follow the incidents force us ask you whether your government is capable of delivering justice to its citizens, especially the poor and marginalized?
A citizen asking only for her due under the law should not need the Prime Minister’s personal intervention. The failure of your government to ensure the most basic of protections has led to this peaceful sit-in outside your residence. We have exhausted all other means. We now demand that you personally ensure your government prevents incidents of violence against women. In cases that do take place, we demand that you ensure justice. It is only when you fully and effectively prosecute perpetrators of violence against women that your government can be considered committed to ensuring the rule of law.
We are aware of the fact that you committed yourself to ensuring justice for the victims of these cases during your 17:30 pm meeting yesterday, 13 Poush 2069 (28 December 2012), with women’s rights activists and representatives of Sita Rai and Saraswoti Subedi. You also committed during yesterday’s meeting to carry out a specific series of actions to ensure justice. To make it easier for you to convert your promises into action, we have compiled your verbal promises into a clearly written list of demands.
Our Main Demands:
In the “Sita Rai” case
1. Release the report of the government appointed investigation committee to the public.
2. Initiate departmental and criminal proceedings against all civil servants involved in looting and raping “Sita Rai”. This includes those directly named by the victim, as well as all co-conspirators.
3.Establish a committee comprising of women’s rights activists, human rights lawyers and representatives of the victims to ensure a full investigation. It being necessary to maintain oversight of the police investigations and assist the Women’s Commission, this committee should be empowered to
- review all evidence/investigative documents relating to the case.
- provide appropriate suggestions to the police department that must be implemented.
In the Saraswoti Subedi case
1. Commission a panel of doctors to conduct a second postmortem under the direct supervision of Dr. Renu Rajbhandari and Mohana Ansari of the Women’s Commission.
2. Empower a team formed by the Women’s Commission to review all documents related to the investigation into the mysterious death.
Demands related to both the cases
1. The Home Ministry must provide updates to the Women’s Commission within 48 hours on the status of investigations in all open cases of violence against women. Specifically we demand updates on the following recent incidences: :
Shiwa Hashmi,
Bindu Thakur
Chori Maiya Maharjan
Sita Rai
Saraswoti Subedi
The Women Commission should immediately create a system to provide regular updates to the victims’ representatives.
2. The Home Ministry must issues directives to all police posts across the country stating that the police has an obligation to register an FIR and/or start investigations on any alleged cases of violence against women reported to them. Departmental action should be initiated against the chief of any police post which fails to register a FIR.
3. Home Minister Bijay Kumar Gachhadar must resign, accepting moral responsibility for his department’s spectacular failure in the Sita Rai case.
4. As the root cause of all the above listed problems is a weak state machinery, Prime Minister Bhattarai must publicly apologize to the victims’ families, committing himself to strengthening the country’s security and legal systems.
Long Term Demands
Extensive reforms are needed to prevent such incidents from becoming more frequent. Once our demands on the Sita Rai and Saraswoti Subedi cases are met, the following issues must be addressed:
1. Ensure that no one is above the law. Respect court orders and arrest those against whom courts have issued arrest warrants (For example Arjun Lama and Ujen Kumar Shrestha in the Maina Sunuwar case).
2. Review and amend laws related to rape, including the 35 days limitation as well as rules of evidences and punishment.
3. Reform the police apparatus, making the department more professionals and accountable.
4. Ensure 50% representation of women in all government organs.
5. Lift the age bar which prevents women under 30 years of age from going to work in the Gulf.
6. Make the Women Commission an independent statutory body.
7. Enhance the capacity of the women cell of the police.
8. Implement court orders related to fast track courts.
End.

Woman Robbed at TIA: Home Ministry snubs independent panel report
KATHMANDU, FEB 06 - In yet another move seemingly aimed at protecting top immigration officials involved in the November 2012 robbery of Sita Rai at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), the Home Ministry has bypassed a report prepared by a high-level monitoring committee that has recommended legal action against the accused.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) has ignored the report prepared by the committee led by the Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Raju Man Singh Malla, which recommends forwarding the case to the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), according to sources.
The report implicates the then Director General (DG) of the Department of Immigration Suresh Adhikari and Director Lekh Raj Pokhrel. Ignoring Malla's report, the MoHA has instead forwarded its own report to the CIAA.
"The Home Ministry's own report makes no sense. The ministry should respect the independent report and suspend the top officials, just like the two section officers whom its probe panelfound guilty," a source at the Home Ministry told the Post on Tuesday.
Malla's committee had submitted the report to Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai on January 17. According to the PMO, it sent the report to the MoHA the day it was released, asking it to punish the two officers as per the laws. The ministry, which has the authority to suspend the officials and clear the way for further investigations, has not even stopped the accused from attending office.
The MoHA report, released by its joint-secretary-led investigation panel on December 24, had shown involvement of two section officers, a senior non-gazetted officer and a police constable in the robbery, but failed to establish the DG and the director's connection. The two section officers--Tika Pokherel and Ram Prasad Koirala--were suspended, although they too have not been arrested.
PMO Secretary Malla said they forwarded the report to the CIAA themselves. "We will monitor the progress in the case. Since the legal process has to take its own course, it might have taken some time," said Malla.
Responding to questions on the line ministry's failure to suspend the top officials, Malla said their role in the robbery was not as "severe" as that of their deputies.
Home Secretary Navin Ghimire also said the ministry is committed to punish the guilty in the case. The case is making headway and has been handed over to the CIAA, he said.
CIAA Spokesperson Krishna Dhungana said they are still looking into the matter and refused to comment further.
Sita Rai (name changed), 20, of Bhojpur, was robbed by immigration officials at the TIA on November 21 while she returned from Saudi Arabia. On December 16, she filed a case at the Home Ministry, stating that she was robbed of Rs 218,000 and subsequently raped by a police constable. Constable Basnet is facing trial in the Kathmandu District Court on rape charges. Officials took advantage of Rai after she was found to be travelling with a fake passport. The agent who sent Rai abroad has been arrested.
Following outrage, PM Bhattarai had publicly apologised to the victim for the heinous crime and expressed commitment to punish the culprits.

ठुलालाई चैन सानालाई ऎन
सीता राई बलात्कार र ठगी प्रकरणः दुईलाई सफाई, दुईलाई जेल सजाय
२०७० पुष ६ गते ९:३१ मा प्रकाशित
६ पुस, काठमाण्डौ । साउदी अरबबाट फर्किएकी भोजपुरकी युवती सीता राईलाई बलात्कार र ठगी गरेको अभियोगमा दुई जनालाई काठमाण्डौं जिल्ला अदालतले जेल सजाय सुनाएको छ ।
 न्यायाधीश मोहम्मद जुनेद अजादको एकल इजलासले बिहीवार अध्यागमनका नायव सुब्बा सोमनाथ खनाल र प्रहरी जवान परशुराम बस्नेतलाई जनही ५ हजार रुपैयाँ जरिवाना र एक बर्ष कैद हुने फैसला सुनाएको हो ।
तर, सोही अभियोगमा मुद्दा खेपिरहेका अध्यागमनका अधिकृतहरु रामप्रसाद कोइराला र टीकाराम पोखरेललाई भने अदालतले सफाई दिएको छ ।
नक्कली पासपोर्टमा साउदीमा चार बर्ष बिताएर एक बर्षअघि नेपाल फर्किएकी राईलाई अध्यागमन अधिकारीहरुले कारवाही हुने भन्दै धम्क्याएर २ लाख १८ हजार रुपैयाँ लुटेका थिए । त्यसपछि प्रहरी जवान वस्नेतले वालाजुस्थित गेष्टहाउसमा लगेर बलात्कार गरेका थिए ।
बस्नेतको छुट्टै मुद्दामा यसअघि नै जिल्ला अदालतले ५ बर्ष कैद र ५० हजार रुपैयाँ जरिवाना फैसला गरिसकेको थियो । अख्तियार दुरुपयोग अनुसन्धान आयोगले पनि अध्यागमन अधिकारीहरुबिरुद्ध बेग्लै मुद्दा दायर गरेको थियो ।

More often than not, Nepalese have a tendency of gloating over Indian misery, particularly pertaining to it being "the rape capital of the world". But upon the verdict handed out to Sita Rai's rapists, I wish how fellow compatriots, men in particular, felt about it. I've always established that Nepal is a f**king shithole for women. In fact, I'd go on to say that a majority of women who've immigrated to the western world would need to be crazy enough to want to return back under normal circumstances. We tend to get a kick out of middle eastern countries for their ill-treatment of women in particular but upon close observation, how different are we? Sure, we might not hand out punishment to women for being the victims of heinous acts like rape as they do in Saudi Arabia (?) but are we really that backwards when it comes to mistreating women like meaningless objects? Look no further than how Holi, supposed to be celebrated as festival of colors, in a fun manner, ends up being a curse for women. Picture a scenario - 5:15 pm at RNAC/Ranipokhari Microbus/tempo stop and a bunch of men and women hurrying to return home safely. Groping, inappropriate touching and what not are some common acts that go unpunished. This reminds me of my buddies sharing some horrific stories about young teenagers being touched and abused in broad daylight in/around Rangashala during that epic 1974 AD concert circa 2001 IIRC. Over a decade on, when you thought Nepal was totally different than India, that's crippled with a flurry of stories about rapes, news broke out about the verdict - Two of the pricks who cheated on her and most likely helped her rapist were handed a fine of whooping 5000 rupees and a year long prison sentence. If that's the sort of punishment you'd hand out to these heinous acts in the capital city, is it a big surprise that very few victims would dare to report such crimes in rural areas? Thusly, how different are we than the Indians or the middle easterners?At least they've got severe laws to hand out death sentences or thousands of lashes. Something's gotta change, man.
