Nepali youths and students, along with human rights activists, trade unionists and women rights activists in Thailand rallied against recent crackdown by the royal regime on peaceful protests and increasing state brutality against the people in Nepal.. They also sent a protest letter to the royal government through the Royal Nepalese Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand on Monday.

Shouting slogans like “Restore Democracy”, “Stop Human Rights Violation!”, “Win Win Loktantra (Democracy)!”, “Down with Autocracy!”, Nepali Youth and Students residing in Thailand, together with the Thai Solidarity Group for Democratic Movement in Nepal, organised a peaceful protest in front of the Royal Nepalese Embassy in Bangkok.

The participants condemned the state atrocities waged against the peaceful demonstrators in Nepal in recent weeks, holding placards showing photos of atrocities committed by state security forces against the people of Nepal, demanding restoration of democracy and for the king to step down. They also urged the government of Nepal to immediately stop atrocities against the people.

They strongly called upon the Nepalese monarch to pay attention to the demands put forward by mass organisations, the human rights community and civil society organisations for a peaceful resolution to the current crisis.

During the protest, representatives of the organisers handed over a protest letter to Puskar Niroula, third Secretary of the Mission at the Royal Nepalese Embassy in Thailand, for the purpose of presenting it to the king.

The speakers at the protest included Yaowapa Donse of the Alliance of Democratic Trade Unions (ADTU), Thailand and Chalida Tajaroensuk representing the Thai Solidarity Group for Democratic Movement in Nepal, and Sarba Raj Khadka representing Nepali youth and students residing in Thailand. nepalnews.com by Apr 25 06
