You better delete the thread, you moron!

jawa whatever...!!!!

Give your reason !!! freakin' stupid..

Sun4u jee,

Title of this thread is misleading. The journalist was not killed by Maoist, what's why I asked to delete this thread....Is it clear now?

Maoist have killed Birendra sha, pushkar and other journalist in the recent past. Not to forget brutally beating lost of journalist from himal media.  So it is obvious people always doubt if maoist are involve whenever such incidence happens.

the girls' father and brother were abducted by maoists so there is a little probablity maoists are involved here....but let's not forget and underestimate dhoti groups in terai too

The shameful act by whoever demandfs strong condemnation, outrage and strong action, but please do not distort the news or argue over it and dilute the sad news.

Interesting reaction from a blogger to the tragic news of Uma Singh's murder.

A person getting killed because she does her job correctly.

What bastards!

The best way to criticize in Nepal is behind the anonymity of the internet!

But that can only be possible if people have access to it. A sad paradox indeed.

यो कार्य वास्तवमा निन्दनिय र दन्डनिय छ, तर नेपालमा जहिले पनि उल्टो हुन्छ, सजाँय जहिले पनि निर्दोष्हरुलाईनै हुन्छ, अपराधीपापीहरुको जहिले पनि हालिमुहाली हुन्छ, नत्र भने देशमा एउटा युद्दअपराधी हुनुपर्ने मान्छे प्रधानमन्त्री हुँदैन थिए होला। यि हत्याराहरु पनि कुनैदिन सत्ताको कुर्चिमा देखिन सक्छन्। यस्तै रहेछ यहाँको चलन ..... दिबंगत आत्माको चिर शान्तिको कामना गर्दछु।

Well Maoists or Mdishes they all r killers.

Thousands mourn Nepal journalist

By Charles Haviland BBC News, Kathmandu Ms Singh had spoken of the difficulties of working in the region. Thousands of people have joined the funeral procession of Uma Singh, the Nepali journalist murdered in the southern city of Janakpur on Sunday. It is still not clear who killed the reporter, who was in her mid-20s. She had spoken about the difficulties of working in south-east Nepal, where armed groups have recently mushroomed. Ms Singh, who was cremated by her young nephew, worked in Janakpur but other towns and villages of the south-eastern plains joined the mourning. 'Failed to help' Local radio stations have been playing solemn music, broken only by tributes to Ms Singh and her work. Shops, schools and transport closed down on Tuesday. Ms Singh was killed by a gang of about 15 men who attacked her at her home with sharp weapons. Reports say her neighbours heard her cries but failed to help and that one quoted the killers as saying: "This is for writing so much". This is not the family's first tragedy. Three years ago Uma Singh's father and brother disappeared and have never been found. Friends say her mother and relatives blame the Maoist party for the disappearances - but it denies involvement. In an interview last year, Ms Singh spoke of the difficulties of working as a journalist in the region. She said reporters were always expected to "dance to the tune" of the mushrooming collection of armed groups and parties there - and that armed factions would issue death threats if news relating to them was not given priority. She also broadcast and wrote against gender and caste discrimination. Southern Nepal and indeed much of the country are still plagued by a state of lawlessness and impunity, five months after the Maoists started leading the government and two years after they formally ended their war.

Media rights watchdogs suspect Maoist hand in journalist Uma Singh's murder

A day after journalist Uma Singh was hacked to death by an unidentified gang in southern town of Janakpur, the president of a leading journalists' association and an international media rights watchdog has suspected Maoists' involvement in the incident.

Dharmendra Jha, president of Federation of Nepalese Journalists (FNJ), told Press Trust of India (PTI) Tuesday that he suspected Maoist hand in the gruesome murder of the Janakpur-based journalist Sunday night.

"We may suspect Maoist hand in her (Singh's) death if we go through her family's past background. Her father and elder brother were abducted by the Maoists and murdered later on," Jha told PTI.

Singh's father Ranjit Singh and elder brother Sanjay Singh were allegedly abducted by Maoists three years ago and since then the family haven't heard about them. Authorities say the father-son duo may have already been killed.

The local Maoist leadership has denied any involvement in the abduction of Singh's family.

Following the incident Uma Singh left her hometown Mirchaiya in Siraha district and moved to Janakpur where she started working for an FM radio station. She mainly reported on women's rights and spoke out against the dowry system.

Similarly, Reporters Sans Frontiers (RSF), a Paris-based international media watchdog, said in a statement issued Monday that it was "shocked and horrified" by the brutal murder of the 26-year-old woman journalist. The media rights watchdog also alleged that some of the attackers could be linked to the ruling Maoist party.

"Our first thoughts are with her family and friends. We ask the authorities to react quickly and to do their utmost to protect journalists in Nepal and to quickly arrest this group of killers," RSF said.

In the same vein, Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Nepal deplored the murder of journalist Singh and called on Nepal Police to conduct "a prompt and thorough investigation into her death, to identify those responsible and bring them to justice."

In a statement issued Monday, OHCHR-Nepal also urged government authorities to swiftly investigate and prosecute death threats and an apparent attempt to attack another woman journalist in Janakpur the same night.

"Doing so will send a strong message that there will be no impunity for attacks against the media, nor for any serious crimes. OHCHR-Nepal calls on all sectors of Nepali society to respect freedom of opinion and the rights of journalists," the statement reads.

Uma Singh is the fourth journalist to be murdered after the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) between the government and the Maoists signed in November 2006.

Previously, Maoist cadres were found involved in the murder of Bara-based journalist Birendra Shah, Prakash Singh Thakuri of Kanchanpur and Jagat Joshi of Kailali. nepalnews.com ag Jan 13 08
