Conflict victims and human rights defenders have warned that last week’s nine-point agreement between the major coalition partners could have serious consequences for the country. At a joint press conference in the Kathmandu on Monday, the Conflict Victims Common Platform and human rights activists said that they would take to the streets from Wednesday to oppose the government move to grant amnesty to perpetrators of right violation during the conflict period. “The pact has ended conflict victims’ hopes of justice,” said Suman Adhikari, chairperson of the Platform, an alliance of conflict victims organisations. “There can never be an amnesty on serious human rights violation.” The ruling CPN-UML and UCPN (Maoist) on May 5 had inked a pact agreeing to move forward the transitional justice process with required legal reforms, including amnesty and clemency on conflict era cases, which are against the Supreme Court rulings.
