“We are calling on the government of Nepal to release Dr. C.K. Raut, a political prisoner arrested three weeks ago. He is a Cambridge University-educated human rights and anti-discrimination advocate for the Madhesh population of Nepal. The Madhesh are mostly farmers who are darker-skinned and barred from many professions in Nepal. Dr. Raut is on hunger strike now. You see, in Nepal, impunity is at the highest levels. Many people are tortured with electric shocks and even killed in prison.”
