London based human rights watchdog Amnesty International (AI) Thursday asked the government and Maoists, in an appeal through a newspaper, to stop human rights violations.
The AI asked the rebels to end killings, torture and recruitment of child soldiers. The organization also asked the insurgents to stop killings of captured security personnel and abductions and respect international human rights laws.
AI asked the government to stop extra judicial killings, stop abductions and torture; Amnesty asked the government to direct security personnel not to abuse human rights.
AI asked the government to prosecute security personnel guilty of rights violations while appealing to the government to help the National Human Rights Commission work independently and effectively.
A three member AI team visited Nepal to study the rights situation.
