The government has refuted report about a cabinet decision to take action against security officers for Human Rights violation published on a broadsheet daily, Tuesday.

Nagarik daily had reported on Tuesday, the cabinet had taken a decision to take action against over a hundred government employees including high-level security officers on the recommended of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) for extra-judicial killings and violation of Human Rights (HR).

The Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers (CoM) refuted the report by issuing a press statement Tuesday.

The press statement issued by information officer Shankar KC mentions, no proposal has been filed at CoM for action against any individual or government officer as mentioned in Nagarik's report.

Nagarik daily has reported quoting CoM sources on Wednesday, that the decision had been taken only for the purpose of tabling it at the UN Security Council and Human Rights conventions and that it was refuted after it became public. nepalnews.com
