The Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons will have audio-visual recording of the statements of political leaders, instead of summoning them to offices of the transitional justice bodies, citing security reasons, sources said. It is a significant development at a time when the capability of TRC and CIEDP to take action against those in power is being questioned by several quarters, including the victims and the international community. It is learnt that Vice-president Nanda Kishore Pun and former prime ministers Sher Bahadur Deuba, Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Baburam Bhattarai have been accused of gross human rights violations, which occurred during the decade-long Maoist insurgency. Deuba is the president of the main opposition Nepali Congress party, while Dahal is the chairman of CPN-Maoist Centre and Bhattarai is the coordinator of Naya Shakti Party.
