SC tells Home Ministry to clarify Bista travel ban in writing

- Post Report, Kathmandu


Sep 2, 2018-
The Supreme Court (SC) on Sunday ordered the Ministry of Home Affairs to present a clarification in writing as to why former Maoist child soldier Lenin Bista was barred from travelling to Thailand for attending a workshop.
A single bench of SC Justice Ananda Mohan Bhattarai issued the order in the name of Home Ministry.
Bista on Friday had filed a writ petition at the apex court challenging the Tribhuvan International Airport Immigration Department’s move to stop him from travelling to Thailand. He argued that the move was against the law.
The immigration officials had stopped Bista on August 24 from boarding a flight to Thailand at Kathmandu airport. Bista, who has long been campaigning for justice for hundreds of former child combatants who fought during the decade-long Maoist insurgency, has been accused of embezzling funds of former fighters’ organization.
Prior to this, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had also sought written clarification from Ministry of Home Affairs for stopping Bista from travelling to Thailand.

They have been further demanding rehabilitation of those child soldiers who are adult now with financial support and a dignified recognition for serving the liberation of people during the war.

29 Apr - 5 May 2016 #806 Moving Target Lenin Sues Maoists, Gov’t & UN A group of former Maoist combatants is demanding action against the Maoist leadership for exploiting them as child soldiers Foreign Hand 0 THE DISQUALIFIED: Lenin Bista joined the Maoists at 12 and served four years in the Maoist army before being disqualified by the UN.

Both organisations began registering complaints as of mid-April, a year...
