what follows is a news from kantipuronline. I am just wondering if arresting the journalist is a right thing to do if only thing they've been doing is writing or publishing?? KOL Report KATHMANDU, Nov 27 - Police Monday arrested nine journalists associated with the Maoist mouth pieces, namely Janadesh Weekly, Janadisha Daily and Dishabodh Monthly. Those arrested included editor Govinda Acharya, Khil Bahadur Bhandary, Dipendra Rokaya, Deepak Sapkota, Ram Bhakta Shrestha from Janadesh; Ishwor Chandra Gyawali and one unidentified journalist from Dishabodh; while editor Om Sharma and Deepak Mainali from Janadisha were also arrested. The police have also seized some press materials and stationers from the publishing houses.
