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.

on the making) or write to
