Series of killings: a open exercising of crime

15 January/Nepal, The government assumed itself above law and people launching a series of killing in the country since one after another. The last killing is taken place in Nepalgunj prison on Sunday, 2 killed and several others injured. It is the same day when last year 9 people were killed in Dungal of Achham's cultural programme. The 14th of January is a day of traditional festival in Nepal.

189 prisoners including 14 women were under strike by submitting 15 point demands to the home ministry through Jailer and chief district officer. The major demands of the prisoners are for the winter cloths, toilet in prison, light, drainage outlet of prison and end of exploitation over their production and expenditure etc. But the jail and home administration planned a conspiracy to launch a massacre. They brought more than hundred armed police and surround the prison where prisoners were chanting the slogans asking for the fulfil of their demands. To hide the fact later the "killers are saying that the prisoners threw bricks and police had to kill them". Among the killed thirty-three-year-old Ghanshyam Oli of Dang Bijauri-5, Hapur and Bijaya Chaudhary of Bardiya, Patabhar-5 three bullet injuries died in hospital. According to the news the DSP who was guarding the Bheri hospital with his dozen of juniors said the order from the top is not allowed to meet the injured in hospital until his death. The Chaudhary who died in hospital was arrested as suspected Maoist guerrilla but imprisoned in false charges of killings and theft.

Police had already giving explanations that there is no law to punish Maoists on the basis of their believe so they have to use other black acts made at the time of fascist panchayat rule. The police implements a false story and false charges with the supporters and the suspected Maoists and imprisons.

The prisoners were beaten by police with bayonet and but of the gun and made injured. The injured are not receiving any treatment. The Chief District Officer (CDO), main killer Shyam Prasad Mainali who was at the jailer office at the time of killing to order, Speaking to journalists said that "the police were forced to open fire in order to control the situation as the inmates started pelting bricks. "It was impossible to bring the situation under control without opening fire," he said".-Kathmandu Post, 15th of Jan.

It is completely false charges, said the locals, that there was not any pelting bricks but the prisoners were locked the door by fearing the possible killings or torture and demonstrating at the terrace of the jail building with asking help in public. The demonstrations were began since five days.

It seriously shows the state terrorism reached out of laws and limitations. On the 29^th of December the police killed 5 people by opening fire in three different events in a peaceful demonstration of capital city. Two other were killed in Saptari district eastern terai part of Nepal. The incidents in the capital city near the Gopikrishna hall was lead by the ruling party's sister organisation Nepal student union and in Saptari was organised by the Terai Sadbhawana Party. In the incident of Kathmandu two minors 11/12 years were killed.

The people who are on the side of justice and truth should stand against the state crime and should punish the responsible power holders.
