Rizal and other guest speakers in the program

Friends of Bhutan Cordinator, Dhruva Joshi, set the site online amidst a program organized jointly by Nepal FM Network and Bhutan Media Society on Wednesday.

"I am optimistic that the site will give access to all my documents so that they get opportunity to understand on mind control and torture practices in Bhutan," Rizal said while addressing the program. Currently readers can download the electronic version of Torture Killing Me Softly from his personal website, www.teknathrizal.com.  Other books will be gradually made available in the web for readers around the globe, he added.

Deepak Adhikari, a Nepali journalist who has been reporting the issue of exiled Bhutanese since its beginning, presented his experience of editing the Torture Killing Me Softly in its second edition.

Addressing the program, Joshi expressed his continuous commitment for the Bhutanese refugee issue. "The Friends of Bhutan is always ready to demonstrate in any forms to make the dreams of exiled Bhutanese come true," Joshi said.

According to Joshi, the little contribution his group had made in publishing the book would attain its goal when readers around the globe read free copies of Rizal's books.

Meanwhile, historian Dr. Surendra KC blamed the Government of Nepal and Nepali citizens of failing to resolve the long-standing issue.

"The Nepalis, who have been regarded as brave and masterminds in various historic events during the past, have failed to repatriate our fellow Bhutanese to their hometowns," KC said.

भूटानी मानव अधिकारवादी नेता टेकनाथ रिजालले नेपाल सरकारको फितलो नितिका कारण भूटानी शरणार्थीहरु नेपालबाट तितरवितर भएर विभिन्न मुलुकतिर जान बाध्य भएको बताउनु भएको छ ।

नेपाल एफ्. एम् र भूटान मिडिया सोसाइटीले आज काठमाडौमा गरेको अन्तरक्रिया कार्यक्रममा शरणार्थी नेता रिजालले यस्तो बताउनु भएको हो ।

पुनर्वाश प्रक्रियाले भूटानमा भइरहेको प्रजातान्त्रिक लडाइँमा असर पु-याएको पनि नेता रिजालले व्यक्त गर्नुभयो ।

इतिहासविद डाक्टर सुरेन्द्र के.सीले शरणार्थी समस्याको समाधान गर्न नसकेर नेपाल इतिहासमै चुकेको आरोप लगाउनु भयो ।

कार्यक्रममा नेपाल एफ् एम् नेटवर्कका अध्यक्ष हेमबहादुर विस्टले नेपाल आँफै समस्यामा फँसेकाले शरणार्थी मुद्धा ओझेलमा परेको विचार व्यक्त गर्नुभयो ।

कार्यक्रममा भूटानका जेलमा दिइने यातनाका प्रकृति तथा मस्तिष्क नियन्त्रणका विषयमा विभिन्न वक्ताहरुले विचार राखेका छन् भने शरणार्थी नेता टेकनाथ रिजालको www.teknathrizal.com को औपचारिक उद्घाटन गरिएको छ ।
