In the hills of Shivapuri National Park north of Kathmandu lies a suspected mass grave or cremation site where the bodies of 49 alleged Maoist supporters who went missing in 2003 and are believed to have been buried. The inmates were taken in trucks from the Army ’s detention centre at the Bhairabnath Battalion in Lazimpat.. The National Human Rights Commission along with a team of forensic experts began excavating the Shivapuri site last week. Results of the Shivapuri investigation will help answer lingering questions for the families of the Bhairabnath detainees.
