This is shameful that the government of Nepal has done very little to protect its citizen. I request all the citizens to pressurize the government to do the needful to save its citizen's life who is found innocent but could not prove his innocence merely because of language barriers. Please use any means you have - emails, facebook, twitter or any other social media to spread the message. I think such campaigns can bring consequences because such solidarity has helped save life of Dolma and others in the past.
It is appreciated that some organizations, individuals and CA members of Darchula have come up with a campaign to save Amar's live. Here is a press release which sheds light on the case and what should be done by the government and the conscious citizen like us:
34 years old Amar Bahadur Bam of
Dhari 3, Darchula was arrested for being involved in the murder case of Indian
national, Sharad Shetty in an Indian club in UAE. Three other Indian nationals
namely Manoj Mudana, Karan Singh Rajput, Ismad Kulath were also arrested on
this case along with Amar.
Police filed a case against Manoj
and Karan Singh for shooting Shetty, Banbari for supplying weapon while Amar Bahadur Bam for being the driver of their vehicle. Later, Dubai Court gave a verdict on
this case by slapping Amar, Manoj and Karan a death sentence.
Amar has been continuously saying
that he is innocent in this case. He is very sad as he could not explain much
about the case in the court due to language barrier and has to face this
situation. He has talked about his ignorance to then ambassador Arjun Bahadur Thapa
as well. Also, Indian national Karan and Manoj have given a written document
proving his innocence by saying that Amar was only asked to drive around Dubai
as professional driver and further more he had no information about anything
they had planned to commit in this case.
To safeguard the life of a Nepali
citizen living abroad is the duty as
well as responsibility of the state. The state must be worried and concerned
regarding the situation of its citizens living abroad. The state must always
have enough information on its citizen
who are staying in jails of various
countries. But our government is
ignorant of its innocent citizen who has been slapped of death sentence nine years back .We all know that our Government got information on this regard
two years back but it has not taken
serious initiatives .
Nepali Society, an umbrella
organization of all the Nepalese organizations working in UAE, Non Residents
Nepali Council are much serious about this issue and we have been continuously
requesting prime minister, foreign minister, labor minister and Nepali Embassy
to save the life of Amar but we are very sad that the government has not
taken initiatives to save the life of Amar.
At any time the Dubai Court might
execute its decision so we request our government to start talks with Dubai government and
appeal the case in Dubai Court
to save the life of its citizen. We
wanted to inform you all that we have started "Amar saving campaign"
to pressurize the government. In this campaign, CA member of Darchula, Society
of Nepalese people living in UAE and other organizations have been involved. We
request non resident Nepalese, human rights activists, civil society, media
persons, trade unions, and organisations involved in remittance issue to support
on this campaign.
