Democracy is powered by the will of the people. It thrives when human rights & fundamental freedoms of all are upheld.
On this #DemocracyDay, let's reaffirm democracy as a force for dignity, inclusion & peace тАУ and work together to ensure it delivers for all.
I'm closely following the situation in Nepal & I'm deeply saddened by the loss of life.
I urge a thorough investigation, restraint to avoid further escalation of violence & dialogue towards forging a constructive path forward.
I call on the authorities to comply with human rights law.
Protests must take place in a peaceful manner, respecting life & property.
#Nepal: We are shocked by the killings and injury of protesters today and urge a prompt and transparent investigation.
We have received several deeply worrying allegations of unnecessary or disproportionate use of force by security forces during protests organized by youth groups demonstrating against corruption and the recent Government ban on social media platforms.
We call on the authorities to respect and ensure the┬аrights of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.
All security forces must comply with the basic principles on the use of force and firearms by law enforcement officials.
Nepal enjoys a lively democracy and active civic space, and dialogue is the best means to address young peopleтАЩs concerns. ┬аWe urge reconsideration of measures to regulate social media to ensure they comply with NepalтАЩs human rights obligations.
