Amnesty for adults! Why are children in correctional facilities not given an exemption?
KATHMANDU, Oct 6: On the occasion of Constitution Day, the President traditionally grants amnesty to prisoners, a practice that has recently come under scrutiny. This year, the controversy surrounds the presidential pardon given to Yog Dhakal, also known as Regal, the convicted murderer of Chetan Manandhar. Regal was serving a life sentence before he was released through presidential pardon on Constitution Day. President Ramchandra Paudel's decision to grant him amnesty has sparked widespread debate and criticism, from the streets to parliament.
