House directs govt to publicise Rayamajhi Commission report

The legislature parliament Tuesday directed the government to make public the report of the high-level commission formed to investigate the atrocities committed by the erstwhile royal regime to suppress year’s April movement.

Speaker Subash Nemwang issued the ruling after the MPs demanded that House direct the government to immediately publicise the Rayamajhi Commission report and initiate action against the suppressors of the Janandolan-2.

Despite pressure from the political parties, human rights groups and the civil society, the government has not disclosed the probe report.

The probe commission headed by former Supreme Court judge Krishna Jung Ramajhi had submitted a 1400-page report to the government in last November, recommending action against more than 200 people for widespread human rights abuses and misuse of state funds.
