Bathroom, and this is also to Pyari_kt,

 

Regarding the reports of abuse to women by the security forces, they are documented plenty in accounts of co-prisoners (in newspapers), books and HR reports by both Kathmandu based organizations and Amnesty International.

 

Here is one such report from National Human Right Commission of Nepal. It’s fact finding report on the Emergency period (2002).

 

i. Rape Committed by the State Party:

 

The incidents of rape committed by the security forces are mostly incidents of gang rape. In several cases, it was found that the army personnel went to various houses, beat and dragged the husbands and the children out of the house and then raped the women inside their houses. Similarly, incidents of arrests followed by the killings of husbands and subsequent raping of their wives were also discovered. It was revealed to the monitoring team that an army squad took two women detained in Dailekh with them to an undisclosed location and then raped them. Their naked bodies were left at the location and the news was dispatched stating that terrorists were killed in an encounter.

 

Here is the report:

(The pdf file is missing from some reason. But you probably can get a hard copy of the report from the commission)
