The conflict victims have called for their security saying that they have been getting several threats in course of registering complaints at the local peace committees in response to the call of Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Commission on Enforced Disappearances.

The Conflict Victims' Common Platform shared this information at a monitoring report launching programme here in the Capital on Thursday. The report is on the monitoring of the complaint registration process that the Platform conducted from May 10 to June 3 in different districts. 

The report states that the conflict victims in most districts where the monitoring was carried out received veiled and unveiled threats in course of filing the complaints. 

"Threats and coercion not only affects the victim but the employees of the local peace committee secretariats getting such threats also feel insecure. The commissions should ensure the security to the victims and the local peace committee staffs," the report says. 

The Common Platform has recommended extending the deadline for registering the complaints, explaining the purpose of the process, making provisions for the possibility of providing additional and supplementary information and mobilizing mobile teams or units, making arrangements for providing translators and providing psycho-social counseling to the victims and the witnesses. 

Chairman of the Platform Suman Adhikari said that in course of the monitoring the conflict victims were found not well-informed about why the commissions had called for complaints and what action they would take on the complaints. RSS
