Himalayan Times April 02, 2004

Himalayan News Service  Kathmandu, April 1: Bhutanese human rights leader, Tek Nath Rizal has called off his fast-unto-death. Today was Rizal’s third day of protest.  The Bhutanese human rights leader called off his signal protest after the government assured him of looking into his two-point demand for internationalising verification and dignified repatriation of Bhutanese refugees and involving the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and Human Rights Council of Bhutan in the process. Dr Madan Kumar Bhattarai, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, assured Rizal the government would continue its efforts for seeking the assistance of India and UNHCR in resolving the issue. Dr Bhattarai added, “Nepal has never refused the possibility of international involvement in the issue. We had raised the issue of involving UNHCR, in resettlement of refugees once they return home, during the 15th ministerial-level meeting. It was Bhutan that was against third-party involvement. Hence the complications.”  Asked why the government was not giving a concrete commitment, Dr Bhattarai said, “It is a bilateral issue and one country alone can't decide.” “The government, however, is concerned about the issues raised by Rizal.” Assuring Rizal of security in future, the spokesperson said, “His application for travel document is under consideration.”  Rizal, however, told the ministry spokesperson, “The government's commitment seems ambiguous...but I understand it will involve UNHCR and Human Rights Council of Bhutan in the verification and repatriation of refugees.”  The Bhutanese refugees' leader added, “If I am cheated again, I will return to this place as fast-unto-death is the ultimate means to resolve the problems of over 1,50,000 refugees.”  Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala and CPN-UML general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal, who offered Rizal fruit juice for ending his fast, welcomed the government's recognition of his protest.  “The government's commitment to seek involvement of UNHCR and India is worth welcoming. Now, political parties will pressurise the government to fulfil its commitment,” said Koirala.  He added it was the duty of all political parties and even civil society to persuade Rizal to end his hunger strike in view of his fragile health.
Rizal, who has spent over 11 years in Bhutanese jails, is a patient of acute diabetes, asthma and has kidney problems.  CPN-UML leader Nepal, accusing the government of not being serious enough towards such a sensitive issue, said, “The letter given to Rizal is not clear but at least the government has expressed its concern, which is a positive development.”

Kathmandu Post March 31, 2004

POST REPORT ,  KATHMANDU, March 30 - Tek Nath Rizal, leader of the Bhutanese Human Rights Council (BHRC), demanding the early repatriation of Bhutanese refugees and guarantee of human rights thereafter, launched an indefinite hunger strike at Ratnapark from Tuesday morning.  Talking to reporters, Rizal said that his going on indefinite hunger strike was a last-ditch effort to pressurize the governments of Nepal, Bhutan as well as the international community for the repatriation of over 100,000 Bhutanese refugees languishing in seven camps in Eastern Nepal. "I hope Nepal government and the international community will respond positively to the step I have taken," he said. According to him, neighboring India must also play a role to convince Bhutan to accept its expelled citizens. "Unless India plays a supportive role and the Bhutanese King himself does something, refugee problem will not end," he maintained. "If Nepal guarantees repatriation of refugees", he said, adding, "I will withdraw the hunger strike".

15. Decisive strike ( Editorial)

Kathmandu Post March 31, 2004

The fast unto death undertaken yesterday by internationally renowned Bhutanese human rights and pro-democracy activist, Tek Nath Rizal, does not augur well for the autocratic regime in Thimphu. For the protest fast is aimed not merely at the repatriation of 100,000 plus refugees languishing in camps in east Nepal but also at the establishment of democracy in Bhutan, a country that has never known the taste of democracy in any form ever since the Dragon Kingdom was founded. The world focus will now centre on the frail but determined leader and the atrocities committed in Bhutan, where free speech and expression is unknown. The Nepali government, which committed one folly after another in its dealing with Bhutan on the refugee issue, must be blamed for agreeing to the Bhutanese demands for categorisation of refugees into four different groups and then going ahead with the verification on that basis. There are only two groups—those who are Bhutanese and those who are not. And all those who are Bhutanese must be able to return to their original homes in Bhutan with a sense of security and dignity. There can be no compromise on this issue. But compromise was exactly what the successive Nepali governments did to wash their hands off the refugee problem. Yet, they failed to achieve the objective.  Despite the scepticism of many, it was revealed that over 70 percent of the 12,000 plus refugees housed at the Khudunabari camp and categorized earlier by a joint verification team would return to Bhutan. This was almost too good to be true and there were too many conditionalities attached by Bhutan. Even then, just when preparations were being made for their return, a minor incident involving Bhutanese officials at the Khudunabari camp was blown out of proportion by Bhutan in order to stall the repatriation process. The aim has now been accomplished. The Bhutanese refugee issue has taken a back seat, and thanks to our government’s wise consul, Tek Nath Rizal was unable to attend the world human rights conclave in Switzerland, where he could and would have set the record straight. Rizal’s fast unto death now poses new problems for this country as it does to Bhutan. Bhutan is unlikely to initiate steps towards democratisation and is unlikely to repeal ethnically discriminatory laws and regulations that forced so many thousands out of the feudal Himalayan kingdom in the first place. The government cannot obviously allow Rizal to attain martyrdom through his fast and it is up to Bhutan to take necessary action to help end the fast. But Bhutan has shown little or no understanding of the refugee situation so far and it is difficult to picture that country’s leadership taking responsible and people oriented decisions. May be the European Union countries that see themselves as champions of human rights and democracy could put some pressure on the Dragon kingdom to take back the refugees and to democratise the feudal governing system. Perhaps, that alone might help bring a positive conclusion to Rizal’s hunger strike.

16. Rizal begins fast unto death

Himalayan News Service.  Kathmandu, March 30: Bhutanese human rights leader, Tek Nath Rizal, began a fast unto death at Ratna Park today demanding Nepal, Bhutan and the international community help in establishing democracy and human rights in Bhutan so that the refugees can be repatriated in a dignified manner.

17. Bhutanese leader Rizal goes fast-unto-death

Hindu March 30, 2004

Kathmandu, March 30. (PTI): Teknath Rizal, a Bhutanese democracy activist, today started a fast-unto-death demanding the early repatriation of over one lakh Bhutanese refugees residing in east Nepal camps.  Rizal, the chairman of Human Rights Council of Bhutan (HRCB) started the fast at Ratnapark in the heart of Kathmandu.

Rizal said his hunger strike is aimed at safe and dignified return of the Nepali-speaking Bhutanese expelled by the Druk Government in 1990 and establishing human rights and democracy in Bhutan. In his 15 point demands he has also asked Nepal government to involve the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and HRCB in the verification and repatriation process and to internationalise the Bhutanese refugees issue as bilateral talks have failed to bear fruit. Some one lakh 30,000 refugees are residing in seven camps in east Nepal for the past 13 years and 15 Ministerial meetings held between Nepal and Bhutan have failed to resolve the issue of repatriation, he said. Rizal said that he also wants to exert pressure on the donor countries and international human rights agencies on Bhutan for the speedy repatriation of the refugees. In India also there are some 30,000 Bhutanese refugees, residing in states like Arunachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi, he said

18. Bhutan dissident's hunger strike

 BBC March 30, 2004

A leading Bhutanese dissident, Tek Nath Rizal, has begun an indefinite hunger strike to support demands for the repatriation of Bhutanese refugees who have been living in camps in neighbouring Nepal for more than a decade. Mr Rizal began refusing food and water in the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, following the repeated failure of negotiations between the Bhutanese and Nepalese authorities to resolve their dispute.

Bhutan says most of the people living in the camps are illegal Nepalese immigrants and that it is only prepared to allow back a few thousand of them who it regards as genuine Bhutanese refugees.  From the newsroom of the BBC World Service

20. Ex-Bhutan MP begins hunger strike in Kathmandu

New Kerala News March 30, 2004

Kathmandu, Mar 30 (IANS) :  A former Bhutanese MP and human rights leader Tuesday began a hunger strike here, demanding an end to what he described as ethnic cleansing in Bhutan and the repatriation of over 100,000 Bhutanese refugees. Teknath Rizal, 57, former advisor to King Jigme Singye Wangchuk, served 10 years in prison for alleged subversion after he criticised the Bhutan's government's policy to drive out Bhutanese of Nepalese origin from southern Bhutan.  He recently relocated to Kathmandu from India.
This month, Rizal was invited to attend the 60th session of the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva by the World Lutheran Foundation, which is providing aid to Bhutanese refugees living in camps in Nepal. He, however, could not attend the meet as he did possess the required travel documents.  A petition submitted by Rizal to Nepal's foreign secretary was reportedly forwarded to the home secretary, but the latter's office denied having received such a document.  "I lost all hope then," Rizal said Tuesday. "It is tragic that Nepal's emissaries raised their concerns at the UN forum but not us, the refugees, who are the actual victims."  The rights activist, who had been on hunger strike in Bhutanese prisons three times, is seeking the repatriation of all Bhutanese refugees to their original homes with "dignity and honour".  There have been reports that Bhutan, pressured by the international donor community, had agreed to repatriate the refugees but was planning to keep them in transit camps till they were given fresh citizenship. Rizal is also asking Bhutan to release all political prisoners, pay compensation for the loss of life and property, restore the citizenship of the refugees and return their properties. He is further asking Nepal to internationalise the refugee issue and involve the UN High Commission for Refugees as well as the Human Rights Council of Bhutan in the verification of refugees and their repatriation. The world community is being asked to continue to provide relief assistance to the refugees in view of several donor agencies pulling out. It is also being asked to monitor and guarantee the rights of repatriated refugees and to constitute a tribunal to review refugees' appeals.
