IPI Watch List: Nepal

IPI Watch List Report

In Nepal, the 12 April 2008 Constituent Assembly elections campaign was plagued by violence against, and efforts to intimidate, journalists. Election results triggered some concern, with the CPN-Maoists, associated with many attacks on journalists, winning the most votes. Nepal was placed on the IPI Watch List at the IPI Board Meeting in Nairobi, Kenya on 21 May 2005.
