This is an urgent message from a group of concerned Nepalis in Boston.
To avoid further erosion of public confidence and to uphold every Nepali citizen's constitutional right to information of public importance, we strongly urge the concerned authorities in Nepal to refrain from cremating Dhirendra Shah's body before the official post-mortem reports of all the deceased members of the royal family are released to the public. An impartial and trustworthy investigation by the official probe panel depends upon preservation of all evidence, even if religion dictates otherwise.
Cremating the other bodies in such haste was a mistake, as it gave a perception of evidence destruction. In a situation of national emergency, citizen's trust is paramount, and cannot be gained through news blackouts and curfews.
