Consequences among protest survivors of 2006 in Nepal.
This study is based on the secondary data gathered from various health institutions, human right organizations, a political party and news agencies in Nepal. The Centre for Victims of Torture (CVICT) has its own primary data of traumatized victims from the mobile medical rescue team and from observing for human rights violations. There have been gross human rights abuses. Even the rescue team was not found to be safe from the incident. Moreover, the head and neck along with the vital organs of the body were made the target. The injured people were managed in different hospitals. Many victims suffer from the aftermath of this brutality through combat fatigue, also called acute crisis reaction. They are in need of comprehensive rehabilitation in the form of medical, psychological and social assistance.
