The following report and pledge was received to Nepal Democracy Forum (google group) from one of it's member and a respected journalist in Kathmandu. My blood is boiling with the report of the massacre of pro-democracy demonstrators by the regime. I also feel a guilt as I have seen in the images of the protests comprising mostly youngsters from low and lower-middle class. The rich class (except for the professional groups) are still in their baithak watching TV. Let's open a "Sajha Fund for Loktantra-fighters" to help the victims of the regime's violence. "Nepal Democracy Forum" has already discussed about it and I am sure they will immediately proceed. Most probably, a fund will be set up at NAC or other umbrella organizations. We can contribute to that fund. But how about a Sajha fund ? Nepe > Dear all, > > Police and Armed Police Force have fired indiscriminately at the > protestors at Gangabu.
