Maoists are not terrorists but revolutionary forces. In battle, one or two things may go wrong but the king's army have done more harm to ordinary people and all than Maoists who are fighting for mere 'people's rights' with less sophisticated machines and 'underground difficulties'. Maoist To Release The Prisoner's of War In Appropriate Time And Process Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) Central Committee Press Statement This press statement has been issued to clarify party policy in connection with human right, and development and construction. 1. Our party is a revolutionary party struggling to establish a real democracy of the Nepalese people. Publicizing our conviction towards the main spirit of the Geneva Treaty in relation to human rights we have been emphasizing to pursue it ever since the people?s war was initiated under the leadership of our party. A series of conduct that we have been keeping up with respectful and humanly behaviour towards the prisoners of war and releasing them in a process has justified the said conviction in practice. In the context of some of the unexpected and anti-policy incidents that occur from our cadres occasionally in the course of war, along with public self-criticism, we have been pursuing the process of action upon the offenders and we would like to clarify that our policy has been to apply it more firmly. 2. The reality that the ?Royal? army of the feudal palace in Nepal has been unlawfully disappearing in thousands, inhumanly killing people?s sons and daughters along with brutal torture, raping women and carrying out an awful chain of loot, beat and ablaze in the villages of poor peasants is not hidden from anybody. Also the fact that the adventure of crushing the whole country with the grinding stone of autocracy by seizing all the fundamental and sovereign rights of citizens, after the feudal royal coup of the last February 1, 2005, is clear. In this backdrop, welcoming publicly the decision taken to appoint a high commission by the United Nations to follow up and protect the human rights in Nepal, our determination of helping them up to our capability has already unfolded. We also would like to clarify through this statement that our party policy has been to allow the aforesaid commission of the United Nations to travel to any part of the country influenced by the conflict, to study and inspect the sensitive spot of incident, to visit the prisoners under our control and to help carry out discussion and interaction with different units of our party according to necessity. This policy of our party is also being applied in the case of the International Red Cross Organizations. 3. It is known to all that a base camp of ?Royal? army in Kalikot District had recently undergone a daring attack by the People?s Liberation Army and that camp was captured successfully. In this context, we would like to clarify that the propaganda of the ?Royal? government that 40 of the captured royal soldiers were killed in cold-blood is totally imaginary, false and conspiratorial. If the People?s Liberation Army had shot at them after capturing, it is clear that there would raise no question of taking 52 royal soldiers in our detention. We would also like to clarify that the royal soldiers in our detention are being treated respectfully and they will be released by an appropriate process and time. Also, we would like to heartily appeal the entire human right organizations to raise voice on the unsighted air attack that the royal army carrying out upon the remote villages and innocent and unarmed people to hide their defeat and cowardice. 4. Some inclarities and regional unevenness have been remaining in our policy on the UNDP and different NGOs and INGOs in relation to construction and development. Definitely, our party policy has been to provide help to the efforts of development by the United Nations. Recently, party has issued a statement to implement and make it implement firmly and evenly all across the country and party is confident to get a positive result out of it. So long as different NGOs and INGOs are concerned, party decision has been to work and help them work by maintaining coordination and agreement with regional and district level parties and people?s governments. If any problem arises in this regard, the policy of resolving them by having discussions between our party and the central bodies of the related organizations and institutions has also been clarified.
