No sooner had Mr. Karki stepped out of the courthouse than two plainclothes officers grabbed him from one side. Immediately, two Human Rights Commission workers, Mohan Dev Joshi and Yasuda Banjade, grabbed him from the other side. "Rule of law, you can't do this," is what Ms. Banjade recalls saying to the officers. "There was a little bit of shouting," she said. Eventually, the judge stepped out of the courthouse, and the police let go. Mr. Karki, a Maoist who said he was corralled into the movement eight years ago, at age 11, said he would slip across the border and into India as soon as he could. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I say, Mr Karki, a maoist, should have been either put behind bars until the maoist problem was resolved or killed there and then. There would have been one less terrorist to extort money from general population. I dont blame the police in that particular case.
