UML general secretary’s release delayed
The release of CPN (UML) general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal, supposed to be released from government custody Tuesday afternoon has been delayed.
A source at the UML central office said Nepal was being brought to Kathmandu from the Armed Police Force (APF) camp in Kakani, Nuwakot district, to be released at the presence of Kathmandu District Court judges but was taken back to Kakani on the way.
He is likely to be released on Wednesday, the source said.
Huge number of UML activists, journalists and human rights workers had gathered in front of the district court after reports that Nepal was being freed.
While most detained leaders of the seven opposition political parties were released, the government had shifted the UML general secretary to APF base in Kakani last month after months of house arrest at his Koteshwor residence. nepalnews.com mk Apr 18 06
