Amnesty International (AI) yesterday accused Britain, the US and India of facilitating human-rights abuses in Nepal by selling the country weapons used against civilians in the nine-year Maoist revolt.
The international rights watchdog said there was "overwhelming evidence" that military assistance from these countries and others had "been used for the killing and abduction of civilians by both sides in the conflict."
"With the conflict poised to escalate, any further military assistance would be highly irresponsible," said Purna Sen, director of AI's Asia-Pacific program, in a statement.
