Nepal's 'Daniel Pearl' feared killed by Maoists

Nepal News.Net
Tuesday 30th October, 2007 (IANS)

Nearly four weeks after he was marched off at gunpoint by masked abductors and went missing despite a manhunt by security forces, there are growing fears that Nepal's TV journalist Birendra Shah has been killed by Maoists.

Shah, a journalist with private television station Avenues, had reported about the involvement of Nepal's Maoist guerrillas in timber-smuggling, following which he was abducted in broad daylight in Bara district in south Nepal 26 days ago.

Since then, there has been no news of him despite hunts by security forces and repeated appeals by journalists, rights groups and his frantic family for his release.

Shah's disappearance created a furore with MPs from the ruling parties interrupting a special session of parliament called to decide King Gyanendra's fate. Instead, they demanded that the Maoists take immediate steps to free Shah, who is being called Nepal's 'Daniel Pearl' after the Wall Street Journal journalist who was kidnapped and killed by terrorists in 2002.

The furore made Speaker Subhash Nembang appoint a team of MPs who went to Bara to investigate the kidnapping.

The team has named four Maoists, including chief of the Bara 'people's government', as being behind the abduction, an allegation corroborated by locals and journalists' groups.

However, the rebels are denying any hand in the incident, saying that the allegations are a conspiracy to malign them.

This week, the guerrillas said they were forming their own team to investigate the abduction, a move dismissed by journalists as being a ploy to bury the issue.

Ironically, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala has tacitly admitted in public that the Maoists were behind Shah's disappearance, but the government has failed to take any action against any rebel leader.

Journalists with contacts in the Maoist party say that Shah was killed within 24 hours of his abduction and his body is likely to have been buried in a forest.

Due to snowballing public and media indignation, the rebels are now denying any involvement.

On Monday, Shah's wife Umrawati and two young sons came to the capital to plead for his release.

A sobbing Umrawati said the family was receiving threats to let things lie and was living in dire fear.

Journalists Tuesday led a protest march in the capital demanding Shah's release and punishment for the perpetrators.

Despite their denial, the Shah incident is going to affect the Maoist image in the local media. During the 10-year Maoist insurgency, when the guerrillas were hunted down by security forces, the same media had highlighted cases of human rights abuse by the state and helped save guerrilla lives.

Bishnu Nishthuri, president of the powerful Federation of Nepalese Journalists that played a prominent role in the pro-democracy movement during King Gyanendra's absolute rule, says the Maoists have committed 'political treachery'.

The media, Nishthuri warned, would have to rethink whether the Maoists can still be regarded as a political party when their cadres were indulging in terrorist activities.

PM promises to make public Shah's whereabouts in 2-3 days

Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala assured the family of abducted journalist Birendra Shah that his whereabouts will be made public within 2-3 days.

According to president of Federation of Nepalese Journalists (FNJ) Bishnu Nishthuri, who was also present during the meeting between PM Koirala and Shah's wife Umaravati Shah and her two kids, the PM said that the actual state of Shah will be made public in 2-3 days after investigation.

After meeting with the Prime Minister, Umaravati Shah broke down when media persons asked her if she thinks her husband's situation will be known now.

Shah had been abducted 26 days ago. Various groups, rights organizations and parliamentary panel have concluded that Maoists are responsible for his abduction.

Maoists, on the other hand, have formed a three-member committee headed by Hari Bhakta Kandel to "find out the truth."

"There is no policy and no instruction by the party (to abduct journalist). But if somebody is found to have done so, the party will take action," said Kandel. nepalnews.com sd Oct 30 07

I hope Mr. Shah is just abducted and will be released. If god forbidden he is murdered, then this would be Maoist's one of the biggest mistake concerning the present situation, they just can't get away with this. Also the present useless government have to answer a lot of people.

Sathi ho, Afno Desh ta "Gayo-Gayo" bhanda bhandi Gayi-ni-sakyo. So much for a decade and half of Democracy.

Despicable and heinous act of Maoists!

Blood suckers!

Lokman, great said !  Why don't you book a ticket to nepal and protest Maoist attrocities?

I saw in the news in Nepali TV. I saw woman crying and pleading for help. She said they are ready to leave the job of journalist and are even willing to move from Nepal. She just want her husband back.

Another example of Maoist atrocity. It is just a tip of an iceberg.

Prachanda concedes involvement of his cadres in abduction of journalist

Maoist chairman Prachanda has conceded the involvement of his party’s cadres in the abduction of Bara-based journalist Birendra Shah.

During his meeting with a delegation of Federation of Nepalese Journalists (FNJ) including wife, brother and kids of the abducted journo, Prachanda promised to take action against those involved in the abduction of Shah

“He did not refute reports that Shah was abducted by Maoist cadres,” said Bishnu Nishthuri, president of FNJ, who was present during the meeting.

According to Nishthuri, Prachanda said his party has no policy of abducting journalists. “He said his party will cooperate to take legal action against those involved in the abduction of Shah,” said Nishthuri.

The whereabouts of Shah, who was abducted 27 days ago, still remains unknown even though various organisations including FNJ and parliamentary panel have already concluded that he was abducted by local Maoist leaders of Bara district.

“Both Prime Minister and Prachanda have said they will make public the whereabouts of Shah within three days. So, FNJ will wait for three days after which we will launch agitation,” said Nishthuri.

At the initiative of FNJ, family members of Shah met with Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala on Tuesday and with Prachanda on Wednesday. They have come to Kathmandu to plead for safe release of Shah
