Kathmandu, November 17, 2024 – Amnesty International Nepal has launched its 2024 Write for Rights campaign, urging Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to prioritize independent investigations into custodial deaths and ensure justice for victims. The campaign highlights a pressing issue: the rising number of deaths in police custody, with many cases going uninvestigated. Write for Rights, Amnesty's annual global initiative brings attention to individuals and communities at risk of human rights violations.
