“Like We Are Not Nepali”

Acknowledgements
This report was researched and written by consultants with the Asia division of Human Rights
Watch. It was edited by Tejshree Thapa, senior Asia researcher; Brad Adams, Asia director;
Joseph Saunders, deputy program director; and Clive Baldwin, senior legal advisor. Bede
Sheppard, Children’s Rights Division deputy director, provided additional review.
Production assistance was provided by Shayna Bauchner, associate with the Asia division;
Kathy Mills, publications specialist; and Jose Martinez, senior publications coordinator.
We are deeply grateful to the local NGOs, activists, and journalists who assisted in our
research. Above all we thank the victims and witnesses, whether civilian or police, who
spoke to us about their experiences. We regret that due to the sensitive nature of the
research we have had to withhold the names of many without whom this report would not
have been possible.
