The Human Rights Organisation of Bhutan (HUROB) has called on human rights defenders to ask the Government of Bhutan to disclose the whereabouts of one Motikhar Acharya who was arrested by Royal Bhutan Army on Feb 26 from Gelephug.
HUROB said, he was arrested on “charge of earning the heredity property of his parents” after his parents were evicted from the country in 1992.
Issuing an urgent action circular to media and human rights organisations, Chairperson of the HUROB, SB Subba said, an urgent intervention was required to know the condition of Acharya after his arrest.
