Nepali Blogger Attacked By Royalists

Umesh of Merosansar writesto tell us of being accosted by supporters of King Gyanendra, theNepalese king who has severely curtailed civil liberties in his country.


On Dec 14, 2005 army fires indiscrimantely and killed 12 innocent civillians. To protest that, political parties called for valleywide shut down programme on Dec 16, 2005.
 
There are some peoples who supports for King. They are called "Mandales". On Dec 16, 2005 they attacked protestors and severly beat them. I was at the scene and capturing all those horrific images. Then they came to me and asked to delete all the images and videos. After that they beat me and damaged my digital camera.
 
Besides that I have been targeted by threaten mails also.


With networks of bloggers around the world, it is increasingly difficult to shut off the flow of information.
