Scientology Today: Securing Human Rights for the People of Nepal

Scientology Today: Securing Human Rights for the People of Nepal: "The announcement of the formation of the Nepal — USA Forum of Youth for Human Rights (N.U.F.) coincides with the visit to Nepal of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, whose mission is to guarantee the basic rights of the people of that nation.

Nepal's human rights record, particularly in recent years, is poor, with over 13,000 people killed in 11 years of Maoist guerilla insurgency against the former government of Nepal, and an estimated 40,000 Nepalese children displaced over the course of the conflict."
Given the history of rights over the last several years in Nepal, it's a good thing that some rights programs are being formed in the area. A population of 27,600,000 court in guerrilla war is nobody's idea of a good time.
