联合国说尼泊尔必须取消就地开枪令 (UN Says Nepal Must Repeal Shoot-on-Sight Orders)

联合国人权专家菲力普.阿尔斯通说，尼泊尔必须立即取消执行戒严的“就地开枪”政策，因为其目标是无辜民众并违反国际法。阿尔斯通说，有系统地针对无辜民众的攻击行为被视为反人类罪行。

尼泊尔警方过去19天来与民主示威者发生冲突。示威者要求国王贾南德拉放弃14个多月前攫取的绝对权力。政府官员星期一开始在首都加德满都实施五天戒严。安全部队接到命令，可以对任何进入戒严区的人开枪。

U.N. human rights expert Philip Alston says Nepal must immediately repeal a curfew-enforcing \"shoot-on-sight\" policy because it targets innocent people and violates international law. Alston says systematic attacks against innocent people are considered a crime against humanity.

For 19 days, Nepalese police have clashed with pro-democracy demonstrators demanding King Gyanendra relinquish the absolute power he seized more than 14 months ago. On Monday, officials placed the capital, Kathmandu, under curfew for a fifth day. Security forces have orders to shoot anyone trying to enter the curfew zone.
