Statement of Condemnation on the suspension of trade union and human rights in Nepal

We, the participants of the ILO-initiated MA Labor
Policies and Globalization course taking place in
Germany, express our outmost concern on the plight of
trade unionists in Nepal who are now in danger of
being detained or arrested following King Gyanendra's
undemocratic dissolution of the Nepalese government
last 1 February 2005.

As trade unionists and members of labor movements in
our respective countries, we condemn in entirety the
repressive rule that led to the suspension of trade
union rights, detention and arrests of trade unionists
in Nepal. We also condemn the military violence in the
country, particularly towards the students and
civilians protesting against the Martial Law imposed
by the King to suppress civil liberties.

We therefore, call on the International Labor
Organization and other international labor
organizations to exert international pressure on the
King to restore the democratic processes in Nepal. We
urge the international community and all the working
peoples around the world to voice protest on the
violations of human rights and workers rights in
Nepal.
