(Updated) The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has received an encouraging number of cases on the first day of its two-month campaign for receiving complaints pertaining to insurgency-era serious human rights violations. Altogether 125 complaints from victims of the decade-long armed insurgency were registered across the country on Sunday, said TRC Chairman Surya Kiran Gurung. TRC has started receiving complaints from its office at Baharmahal, Kathmandu and at district peace committee offices in all 75 districts, starting from Sunday. The complaints will be accepted till June 16. Chairman Gurung informed that the victims have collected complaint forms for filling up and 130 forms were taken from the TRC office in Kathmandu. The commission has sought complaints over kidnapping or taking of hostage, thrashings that caused physical disability, physical or mental torture, rape and sexual harassment, looting, capturing, vandalizing and arson against personal or public property, forced displacement or any other cases of violation of international humanitarian law and crime against humanity. According to Commissioner Madhavi Bhatta, who is also spokesperson of the commission, 23 complaints were received at the TRC office on Sunday. Besides this, 16 complaints were recieved in the eastern region, 24 in the central region, 11 in the western, 26 in mid-western and 12 complaints in the far-western region. Victims of serious human rights violation, either by the state or the Maoist side during the 1996-2006 armed insurgency, can register their complaints at the commission through the district peace committee offices or at the TRC office itself in Kathmandu. The commission has also asked victims to submit their complaints via email (This email address is being protected from spambots.

TRC will start studying the complaints immediately after their registration and mobilize teams for further investigation of the cases, the commission officials said. Meanwhile, TRC Commissioner Bhatta has objected to the commission not entertaining grievances from stakeholders across the country over the involvement of former Maoist combatants in the oversight mechanism. The mechanism was formed by the commission to monitor the complaints filing process and the access of victims to the complaints registration process. सत्य निरूपण तथा मेलमिलाप आयोगले उजुरी लिन सुरु गरेको पहिलो दिन आइतबार १२५ उजुरी परेका छन् । पीडितले न्याय पाउने आशाका साथ देशभर नै उजुरी दायर गर्न थालेका हुन् । ‘पहिलो दिन थप १ सय ३० फारम पनि पीडितले लगेका छन्,’ आयोगकी सदस्य मञ्चला झाले भनिन्, ‘उजुरी दर्ता गर्न पाएकामा पीडित उत्साही छन् ।’ उनका अनुसार आयोगमै आएर २६ जनाले उजुरी दर्ता गरेका छन् । पूर्वाञ्चलबाट १६, मध्यमाञ्चलबाट २४, मध्य पश्चिमाञ्चलबाट ३६, सुदूर पश्चिमाञ्चलबाट १२ र पश्चिमाञ्चलबाट ११ उजुरी परेका हुन् । आयोगले असार २ सम्म उजुरी लिनेछ । सरकारी तथ्यांकअनुसार दसवर्षे सशस्त्र द्वन्द्वका क्रममा १५ हजारभन्दा बढीको हत्या भएको थियो । हजारौं घाइते र विस्थापित भएका थिए । आयोगले यस अवधिमा हत्या गरिएका, अपहरणमा परेका, घरबारविहीन पारिएका, यातना दिइएका, बलात्कृत र अरू यस्तै मानवअधिकार गम्भीर उल्लंघनका घटनाको उजुरी लिने कार्यादेश पाएको छ । उजुरीमाथि जेठको पहिलो साताबाटै प्रारम्भिक अनुसन्धान थाल्ने र केही महिनामा सबै उजुरीमाथि बृहद् अनुसन्धान गरी पीडितलाई क्षतिपूर्ति र पीडकलाई कारबाही सिफारिस गर्ने आयोगको योजना छ । ‘कार्ययोजनाअनुसार काम सकिएन एक वर्ष म्याद थप्न सकिने कानुनी व्यवस्था रहेको झाले बताइन् । मेलमिलाप आयोगले हुलाक र इमेलका साथै टोल फ्री नम्बर १६६००१०००२० मा फोन गरेर पनि उजुरी दर्ता गर्न सक्ने व्यवस्था मिलाएको छ । Update.... 108 rights violation complaints at TRC The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which started receiving complaints from victims of rights violation from Sunday, received at least 108 complaints on Monday, according to TRC member Madhabi Bhatta.
