The Nepal University Teachers’ Association (NUTA) has warned that it would not help in conducting the forthcoming TU examinations and elections to the Free Students Union if the government did not release the detainees, including president and general secretary of the NUTA, Professor Dr Bhupati Dhakal ‘Kamal’, and Rameshwor Upadhyaya, at the earliest.
Issuing a press release on Friday, the NUTA has asked the government to release all detainees.
The election of the Free Student Union (FSU) is going to be held from 28th of February.
A number of professors and intellectuals were arrested while they were taking part in an anti-autocracy rally organised by the NUTA on February 3.
