Adhikari couple strike: Rights activists stage sit-in outside Bir Hospital
KATHMANDU, AUG 30 - Various organisations staged sit-in outside Bir Hospital in the Capital on Friday demanding investigation into the murder of Krishna Prasad Adhikari of Gorkha district.
Members of organisations including Conflict Victim Orphan Society Nepal, Displaced Families National Network Nepal, Conflict Victim National Society Nepal, Bandarmudhe Victim Concern Committee and Social Justice Committee Nepal staged an hour sit-in in front of the Bir Hospital.
Chairman of the Conflict Victim Society Nepal for Justice, Janak Bahadur Rawat, said that life of father and mother of Krishna Prasad should be saved by searching those involved in the murder of Krishna Prasad soon.
Father, Nanda Prasad Adhikari, and mother Ganga Maya Adhikari of Krishna Prasad, have been staging hunger-strike demanding justice.
Human rights activists including Charan Prasain and Kanakmani Dixit, among others, also participated in the sit-in to express their solidarity to them.
The Adhikari couple, who have been launching agitation from January, have been kept at ICU from August 20 after their health condition deteriorated.
The government had admitted the Adhikari couple to Bir Hospital on July 31. Before this, the Adhikari couple had staged hunger-strike near the official residence of the Prime Minister at Baluwatar for a few days.
The family members of Krishna Prasad have alleged that then Maoist-leaders Januka Poudel, Chhabilal Poudel, Bhimsen Poudel, Parsuram Poudel, Bishu Tiwari, Kali Prasad Adhikari and Sita Adhikari, among others, had kidnapped Krishna Prasad on June 6, 2004 and killed him while he was going to meet his grandparents in Chitwan.
