The Politics against Humanity

In a shameful manner the Nepal Police detained a massive number of Tibetan freedom fighters who were raising their voices against the anti-human Chinese government. In a democratic country like Nepal, where freedom of speech and basic human rights are guaranteed in the constitution, the detention of the already tortured Tibetan refugees is an irony in the democratic history of this Himalayan nation. What impact does this unnecessary act have in Nepal's status in international arena when the Chinese invasion is regarded worldwide as a crime against humanity? The govermnents that have suppressed human rights have been turned upside down by the non-violent people's movements. Why does the Nepal Government support the Chinese opressor given the fact?


It seems clear that the Nepal Government is suppressing the homeless Tibetans due to political pressure from Beijing. But, humanity higher and important than politics, it has to understand. Suppressing and torturing the homeless Tibetans, who have already had enough of torture by being drained out from their motherland, is an act that does not suit the country which has emerged as Democratic New Nepal following the historic People's Movement.
