SECOND HALF OF 2012:
Threats against journalists; students setting fire to newspapers; an analysis of the media that found a gradual decline in freedom of expression and the launch of awards to recognise the role media plays in combating HIV/AIDS were features of the media in the second half of 2012 in Nepal.
October and November saw a number of press freedom violations against journalists. In October, Bikas Agrawal, a reporter with the Bypass daily in the south of the country, was threatened by a political party leader over a story about a protest against a minister. Kabiraj BC, a reporter with the Gorkhapatra daily and ABC television from Dailekh, a western district, was challenged by an unknown caller who threatened to slit his throat.
In November, Ramesh Bista, a reporter for Radio Gorkha, was issued with a death threat over a report on a timber smuggling case and in a separate incident in the South, copies of newspapers were set alight by supporters of a student organisation, a wing of the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum party. The students set fire to copies of national and local dailies in Janakpur City, because they claimed the newspapers had not adequately covered the students’ district convention. Read more
