Human Rights Commission Report Omits Key Incidents from 'GenZ' Protests

Kathmandu. The investigation report on human rights violations during the 'GenZ' movement, made public by the National Human Rights Commission on Wednesday, appears to have omitted a review of some serious and prominent incidents. The commission's report remains silent on the assault on Nepali Congress's then-President Sher Bahadur Deuba at his Budhanilkantha residence on Bhadra 24, the role of Balendra (Balen) Shah, then-Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (currently Prime Minister), and the inactivity of the Nepali Army despite the destruction of public and private property.

The 29-page report, while holding the then political leadership primarily responsible, exhibits a peculiar silence regarding the controversial roles of key figures and prominent events of that time. Some have raised questions, citing these three prominent incidents as being overshadowed in the report.
