FNJ prez denied US visa POST REPORT KATHMANDU, April 10 - The US Consulate in Kathmandu has denied a US visa to Bishnu Nisthuri, president of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists (FNJ). Nisthuri was planning to attend a gathering of journalists in Washington DC on April 21. Nisthuri sat for an interview for the visa on Tuesday. The Consulate asked Nisthuri about Nepal's current political scenario, Terai movement and his purpose of the visit to the US, and ultimately denied him visa, a source close to Nisthuri informed the Post. When contacted, Nisthuri did not want to speak in detail but said he was surprised why he was denied a visa to attend a talk program on the state of Nepal's media. Nisthuri, who played a crucial role as a civil society leader in making last year's Janaandolan a success, was invited by journalists living in North America. Professor Abhi Subedi was also denied visa last year. http://www.kantipuronline.com/kolnews.php?&nid=106245
