Nepal: Getting Away With Murder

Available for over a year

The fate of hundreds of people who went missing during Nepal’s brutal civil war is threatening to undermine the country’s fragile democracy.

Joanna Jolly finds out why the scars from the conflict are still raw despite attempts by both sides to bury the past. (Image of a temple in Bhaktapur, Nepal. BBC Copyright)
