Nepal conflict victims to move court against law revision

Over 300 victims plan to file a writ petition at the Supreme Court next week against ‘flawed appointments’ and lenient sentencing for serious rights abuses.

Nearly a year after revisions to the Enforced Disappearances Enquiry, Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act, a group of insurgency-era victims are working to lodge a writ petition at the Supreme Court seeking changes to the Act and nullification of the appointments made following the amendments.
