Things that should not be said: Censorship and self-censorship in the Nepali press media, 2001-02

Article Abstract:

A study examines one aspect of the encounter that took place in Nepal in 2001 and 2002 between the newly acquired civil rights that buttressed the growing popular involvement and the old societal consensus to which a powerful elite still clung. It charts the workings of censorship and self-censorship in the Nepali press media coverage of two developments in the history of Nepal, namely the massacre of the royal family in June 2001 and the declaration of a national emergency in November 2001 and the subsequent military crackdown on the long-running Maoist insurgency.

Bhutan in 1996: continuing stress

Article Abstract:

Bhutan continued its shabby treatment of anti-national refugees who were of Nepalese ethnic extraction in 1996. The estimated 91,000 refugees were herded off in camps in southeastern Nepal. Bhutan has been experiencing increasing external pressures to improve its human rights policy but still failed to reach an agreement with Nepal about the refugee problem. This resulted in an appeal march which was launched by the refugees in Jan. 1996. Relationship with India, however, was fruitful because of the signing of two joint ventures.
