Nepal had a dismal performance in 2020 when it came to providing justice to victims from decade-long Maoist insurgency, while the regressive bills that tend to curtail the freedom of expression continued to be considered in Parliament, Human Rights Watch said on Thursday.

According to Human Rights Watch’s global report published on Thursday, the authorities also failed to effectively investigate the cases of alleged extrajudicial killings by the security forces and deaths in the custody, allegedly due to torture.

Issuing a statement with the release of the report, the Human Rights Watch said people from the Dalit community and members of marginalised ethnic communities were at greatest risk of abuse.
