On a related note, I just got this interesting announcement. A good news towards HR. Dear Friends: Re: Nepali American Legal Defense Fund The Nepali American Legal Defense Fund (NALDF) has been newly incorporated to provide legal representation and needed funding to Nepali citizens who are being detained by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The funding will be provided on the basis of financial need. It will also do the following: - Monitor issues of human rights in Nepal and react accordingly, including international litigation. - Monitor judicial corruption in Nepal. - Assist in funding the legal representation of individuals jailed by the Nepali government on political grounds. - Provide scholarships to Nepali students attending U.S. universities based on financial need. NALDF will also advocate for equal treatment for Nepali living in the United States and help provide information about U.S. government procedures as needed. Everyone is due equal rights. Sometimes it is simply a matter of having thorough information. Other times it may involve legal action. We are working on TPS along with other Nepali Organizations and individuals. NALDF will constantly monitor changes in U.S. immigration laws and policies and keep people informed through our Web site and other means of information distribution. We are advocates who encourage that all individuals be involved in their communities both here in the U.S. and overseas in their native country. Through such activity we become visible and strong, and we are more capable of improving our lives and those of future generations. To learn more, log onto www.naldf.org (http://www.naldf.org/) (website is on the making) or write to Keshab Raj Seadie, Esq., 55 John Street, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10038.
