STATEMENT:
"It was known to all that our party the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists) had established a contact office after a cease-fire announced by the Government and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists) on January 29. Everybody is aware that I was working acting as the office secretary for the talks. The office was helpful in establishing a dialogue with the press, civil society and the general public." "Security forces of the old state imposed an undeclared surveillance and cordon. I was arrested under dramatic circumstances Thursday from Lalitpur Mangalbazzar. "I was blindfolded, handcuffed and tortured for two hours. I was questioned inhumanely, unnecessarily and in a non-political manner. I condemn the government's abominable and anti-talks posture." "After release, I tried to get the government attitude after these developments repeatedly by attempting to get in touch with Kamal Thapa without avail. I informed another government negotiator Dr. Prakash Chandra Lohini after that. He could not guarantee my full security after I got in touch with Spokesman Kamal Thapa." "We have been additionally disheartened by helpless reaction of the members of the negotiating team of a government which claims executive authority. Uniformed and security forces in civil dress are keeping a 24-vigil on the contact office. I am under a 24 hour surveillance." "It is clear that under such circumstances, Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and other members of the negotiating team cannot remain overboard. While the Government cannot guarantee my security and the security of the contact office and under a 24-hour surveillance, the office has been closed. We regret the inconvenience caused to all." "We appeal to the general public to create against the anti-talks posture of the government an atmosphere for the third round of talks."
