Loktantra ! Democracy !

Summary of the contents :

In May 28th 2008, Nepal became a federal republic after 239 years of Hindu monarchy, and 10 years of a Maoist rebellion held by Prachanda (“the fierce one”). In August 2008, Prachanda has been elected as Prime Minister by the Constitutional Assembly, Mostly Maoist since the elections of April. Civil society organisations and human rights defenders have played a big role in the change of regime. For that, many of them have been facing murder, threats, harassment, torture and exile. Some of them are giving here there testimonies about that period of violence starting with the royal “coup” of February 1st 2005 and April 2006 when the successful “people’s movement” inaugurated the new era of Nepal : this movement is called Loktantra in Nepali.
