CEHURDES LAUNCHES ANNUAL REPORT


As in previous years, the Center for Human Rights and Democratic Studies (CEHURDES) will mark 3 May by releasing its annual survey of free expression and press freedom in Nepal. This is the fifth year that CEHURDES has published the report "Status of Press Freedom and Freedom of Expression in Nepal." The group had also planned to hold a workshop to publicise the report and call attention to the press freedom crisis that has gripped the country in the last six months. However, it has cancelled the event for safety concerns.

Since the end of a ceasefire last year and the ensuing violence between Maoist rebels and army forces, dozens of journalists attempting to cover the conflict have been detained, questioned and prevented from accessing many areas outside the capital, Kathmandu, says CEHURDES. To see the report, go to http://www.cehurdes.org.np.
