In 2001-2002 Nepal had more disappeared or missing people than Colombia. Many were never seen again.
Today my thoughts go to the human rights defender Jai Kishor Labh, who passed away on April 18 in his house.
Jai Kishor Labh was a lawyer based in Dhanusha district in Nepal.
His 25-year-old son, Sanjiv Kumar Karna, a Business Studies student, was arrested on 8 October 2003 by a joint force comprising personnel of the District Police Office, Dhanusha, police personnel of the Regional Police Unit Office, Janakpur Municipality, and personnel of the Army Camp, based in a guest house near Tirhutia Gachhi, Janakpur. He was not seen thereafter.
PBI had been accompanying Jai Kishor since November 2009 due to threats to him and his younger son because of his work on the case of his eldest disappeared son, Sanjeev.
Jai Kishor Labh will be remembered as a relentless pursuer of justice and will be missed.
