".
Mr President, in February King Gyanendra executed a military takeover in Nepal that overthrew the legal government. The parliament had already been dissolved earlier on, and the opposition had not had a chance to act. Journalists have been imprisoned, as have active trade unionists. The king has breached the constitution and all the rules of democracy. A state of emergency has been declared in the country, whose only reason is the takeover.
Many kinds of human rights violations have been reported in Nepal. People are disappearing without a trace to a greater extent than in any other country, and only the police and army know what has happened to them. Internal security troops have no kind of control of the law and are reported to be torturing citizens. People are being arrested and held prisoner without a trial.
The European Parliament does not have competence in external policy, but there is every reason to adopt a joint political position with regard to Nepal’s internal affairs on behalf of democracy."@en1
