Demonstration against murder of 6-year-old Khatun in Kathmandu

Demonstration has taken place in Kathmandu against the murder of 6-year-old Gulav Shah Khatun of Bardibas Municipality-14.

All Nepal Women's Association (Krantikari), which is close to CPN (Revolutionary) Maoists, has staged a protest at Kathmandu's Maitighar against Khatun's murder.

Protestors chanted slogans saying that incident should be thoroughly investigated and culprit should be brought to book.

Protestors said that government has not been able to take effective steps despite the increase in number of murders and rapes of women and children in country.

Protestors have been carrying placards demanding implementation of single point justice system in rape cases and guaranteeing equal participation of women in every state body.

Khatun, daughter of local martyr Alam, had been missing from her place since Sunday evening. Body was found in a sack and dumped in the bush at midnight on Monday.
