The Maoist communists today admitted that they killing journalist Birendra Sah after abducting him.
The CPN Maoist today admitted that their cadres killed Bara-district journalist Birendra Sah. Unveiling the report of the high-level committee it had formed to probe into the case, the Maoists have also expressed commitment to give all possible support to the state to initiate legal action against the assailants. The report states that Sah was murdered by Maoist cadres Kundan Phaujdhar and Ram Iqbal Sahani under the orders of their area in-charge Lal Babu Chaudhary. Sah was shot in his temple and chest in an open area inside a jungle in between Juguwa village of Sapahi VDC and Sukhuwa village of Kakari VDC in Bara district. Sah’s body was buried in a ditch near the incident site, according to the report based on the statement recorded by Chaudhary. Sah was abducted from Pipara Bazaar of Bara district on October 4.
Ramdev Das, who was abducted along with Sah, was, however, freed on the condition that they would kill him if he disclosed Sah’s condition. On October 28, the Maoists had formed a three-member team led their Bhojpura sub-state committee in-charge, Hari Bhakta Kandel, to investigate into Sah’s abduction. (read more about this here)

BIG F…..G SURPRISE.
get the ones who ordered it not dummies who pulled the trigger.
Lets see if they are serious about punishing criminals.
Who cares? One more poor chap died doing his professional duty. No regrets, no apologies, from any corner! So have the thousands of others been suffering. Yet, no sign of hope, dignity, security, freedom and much remotely sense of happiness. Keep working for others, we are made for it, be it in form of Lahures, bahadurs, peace keepers, gurkhas, bhates, bhariays, khates, beggars, … Our future is obvious indeed! Let us keep sitting on the problems, hoping that some devine power will lift us out of our self-invited misery.
Mr. Horning, Mr Wagle and other leaders of prachandapath, I am waiting to hear your justification and I am sure you both have one. YCL and Maoists like you do not belong in democracy but rather a coup under the Army rule.
YCL and Maoists are CRIMINALS not Politicians and they do not have any morality, ethics or discipline. NEVER DARE YOU COMPARE THEM TO THE NEPALESE ARMY….
Each and every Maoist needs to be lynched or beheaded in public. Spit on all their faces and its time to castrate them and feed the product to their wives.
Dear Kishan,
100% support to what u wrote.
It’s a deep grief running inside. But these mahaaan jantaa…. what to say. I don’t have words… Mahaan Nepali jantaaa…… hahaha…….. Dherai mahaan janataaa….
The whole terrorist party must be held responsible for this barbaric act of inhumanity. These act of terrorism must be addressed to, the intl community must declare war against the terrorists and use all sources to eliminate them.
They should not get any excuses in the name of “personal vandetta” or personal distpute. The ‘Safaya” was pre planned and inline with the directives from the party high command. I wonder why all these socalled democratic forces are still collaborating with the maoists, are they trying to make SPA terrorist alliance??
Down with terrorists,down with terrorists alliance!!
Is comarde Neil Kantha Horning still alive?
Is he still in nepal?
Is he still the follower of mao’s dead/ buried ideology?
Well, every knows the truth now,
Who is going to put the culprit to justice, and by the way, who will be the culprit? will justice ever be served?
We now all know what happened, who did it, who else were involved.
Now, let us see all those involved be brought to justice.
Shouldn’t the maoists take responsibility regarding this case since it was their cadres who were involved in this case?
Prachande’s Habaldar, the most incompetent home minister in the history of Nepal , Krishna Sitaula is mainly responsible for this because he put maoist YCL thugs on his head to please his master murderer Prachande.
The tears of Umarawati, the wife of late Birendra Shah will not allow this master murderer Prachande to live peacefully throughout his life.
MMM,
also Girija and Sitaula….
You better kill her and their kids as well. Else, watch out!
Freedom on the brink
By Dr Hari Bansha Dulal
It is more than sad, it is heart-wrenching to see journalist Birendra Sah’s spouse plead for her husband’s safe release. The plight of two innocent children accompanying their mother can clearly be seen in their eyes. Sah’s wife has virtually knocked every “major political players’ ” door, but all she has been getting so far is- false solace. No one knows where the shoe pinches except the wearer.
The parliamentary probe panel’s report is in and perpetrators have been identified. The Maoist comrades have done it again, not a surprise though. As a matter of fact, they never stopped it altogether. The Maoists’ loot, intimidation, and infliction of physical harm on innocent civilians never waned; it is us who got unrealistically optimistic about their need for peace and chose to ignore their atrocities. Lessons to be learned: turning blind eyes on crimes never ensures establishment of a peaceful and just society.
Everyone, including Prachanda knows who the perpetrators are, but the ordeal of Birendra Sah’s wife continues unabated. While a hapless woman is crying for help, Prachanda seems to be more interested in political bargain rather than exhibiting some decency and securing Sah’s release from the clutches of his ill-trained, irrational, and inhumane cadres. Sad but true, with passing of each day, the hope of Sah remaining alive is getting slim.
Birendra Sah has become a poster child of the Maoists’ heinous crimes in Nepal. While the so-called international community is evaluating the Maoists’ commitment towards peace, human rights, and democracy, the Maoists’ indulgences in criminal activities clearly show that they are least interested in how international community grades them. In a way, it makes perfect sense. When you can commit crimes against humanity (killing of thirteen thousand innocent Nepalese cannot be justified by giving it a political color) and not only get away with it, but get rewarded with seats in parliament, why care about the international community’s grading system and its grade book?
It might be hard for some of us to understand why the deviant like the ones that abducted Sah within the Maoist party camouflage themselves with radical belief system and lock-step in line with a black-and-white, simplistic belief system espoused by their radical leaders and go to an extent of abducting and killing fellow citizens. It is done so to fulfill political purpose-silence the possible dissents.
In order to understand why the Maoists are doing what they are doing-extorting, intimidating, and kidnapping- it is important to understand “totalitarian mindset.” Carlos Alberto Montes, in his article, Was Fidel good for cuba?, in the Journal of Foreign Policy, documents that there are currently 300 political prisoners languishing in Cuban jails-including 48 young people for collecting signatures for referendum, 23 journalists for writing articles about the regime, and 18 librarians for lending so-called forbidden books. Fear is the method of political and social control used by the radical communists. So, when the communist ideologues harm journalists, it is not an accident, but a well crafted strategy to silence the flow of truth. It is necessary to stop the circulation of truth, or else, radical leftist propagandas and white lies get trashed by the journalists and independent-minded intellectuals.
It is not a secret that communists dislike free press and independent-minded intellectuals. Vladimir Putin in Russia and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela have already silenced once vibrant independent media in their respective countries. When proletarian communist state is the goal, free press and independent intellectuals are the biggest hurdles. Hence, abduction of journalist Sah is just a preview of what is in store if the Maoists have their field day.
People from every walk of life should support the protest programs spearheaded by Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ). It is not all about Umrawati Devi Sah, wife of abducted journalist Birendra Sah, but also you, me, and ordinary Nepali citizens, whose wife love their spouses not lesser by any measure than Sita Dahal and Hisila Yami love Puspa Kamal Dahal and Babu Ram Bhattarai. The time has come to rise and protest so that no other women and children in Nepal have to go through what Birendra Sah’s innocent wife and children are forced to go through.
The journalists in Nepal should do what the Monks did in Myanmar. Let the whole world see the real face of the Maoist party. Let the international players that forced the marriage between the democrats and the radical communists see that, moderation of radicals is not possible through their appeasement. More you give, more they will demand. Their insatiable thirst for power is boundless.
You have to force change. The change is not only possible, it is desirable. The younger generation that is well educated and is in their 20s and early 30s do not want to be heroes in a tale of romantic exploits of an absurd system that the Maoists want to impose and from which everyone want to escape. The current generation has all moral and material incentives to contribute to change. All you got to do is, ignite the fire for freedom and democracy in their belly that has gotten cooler, but not yet frozen.
Those who believe that abduction of Birendra Sah is an isolated incident carried out by the outcast Maoist cadres stubbornly refuse to see what is already before their eyes. This is not the first time that the Maoists have targeted journalists. From Dikendra Thapa to Birendra Sah, we have seen it all. By targeting one at a time, the Maoists are engaged in dress rehearsal to see how the media can be gagged alternatively. It has been proved that they can go to any extent. We have seen them do to a journalist what psychologically deviant and religiously indoctrinated Islamofacists did to twelve innocent Nepalis laborers in Iraq couple of years ago.
The time has come to counter the fear that the Maoists are trying to instill in journalists and independent-minded Nepalis. Do not go by what Maoists say, but what they do. We all know from our elementary school lessons that, “actions speak louder than words.” Sah’s abduction has forced people to reckon with the realization that the Maoists’ lip service to freedom and human rights is hogwash.
We should fight for our freedom. Freedom matters because it is fundamental to the existence of democracy and the respect of human dignity. It means the freedom to express our discontent with the status quo and the desire to change it.
White lies and false propagandas are the weapons that radical communists use to achieve their goals and sustain their shallow regime. People familiar with the Cuban history know that Fidel Castro led revolution against then Cuban president Flugencio Batista to what Castro called as restoring freedom in Cuba and for reinstating the constitution of 1940, not to create a communist dictatorship. What Castro did after that is a history. This is just an example of how radical communists operate and how good they are at deceiving people. We may still chose to believe the Maoists’ concocted story of how outcast cadre committed the crime but there is a cost attached to it. Are we ready for a Cuban experience yet?
Maoist gurus are Stalin, Mao… See their photos on the podium. I do not expect any better things from them. Punishing their comrade? Forget it. Government cannot do anything to them. They are virtually running the country. I cannot comprehend what is going on in Nepal. Is our country going to be like North Korean? It is very scary just to think about it. Lets hope for the better prepare (pack the bag) for the worst.
