Kathmandu, Feb 24:

The visiting international general secretary of Amnesty International (AI) Pierre Sane expressed his grave concern over the incidents of human rights violation in Nepal.

Sane said that despite government’s commitment and constitutional provisions for the protection and promotion of human rights in Nepal, cases of human rights violation have occurred in different parts of the country in connection of Maoist insurgency.

He said that both police and Maoist insurgents have violated human rights and asked both to maintain restraint and respect human rights.

All political parties were committed to human rights, but they have different views on particular cases especially about the armed insurgency launched by Maoist guerillas, he said.
