Nepal must resolve the “painful humanitarian issue” of 812 people missing from a decade-long Maoist revolt against the monarchy, the International Committee of the Red Cross said Feb. 14. Nepal’s multi-party government and the former rebels have agreed to set up a panel to investigate the missing people, such as Bipin, the 21-year-old-son of Shanta Bhandari who was arrested by security forces in Kathmandu more than four years ago.
