Druk Leopart Warning Letter

An underground group Druk Leopard, which was never heard before, has scattered computerized posters this morning warning of physical attacks to eight Bhutanese.

Those who are warned of stern physical attack if they fail to leave the camps included Thag Bahadur Thapa and Gopal Gurung of Bhutan People’s Party, D. R. Katel of Bhutan Gorkha National Liberation Front and Subash Acharya, former camp secretary of Beldangi-II Extension.

Similarly, the group has threatened journalist Bhakta Ghimirey, Pratap Subba – the former camp secretary of Sanischare camp, Naradmani Sanyashi- camp secretary of Beldangi-II and I. B. Khadka of Sanischare camp.

Subash Acharya talked to apfanews from Damak that he left the camp citing fear of his safety. “I have accordingly reporter my status to the UNHCR and Refugee Coordination Unit in camp”, told he through telephone.

Acharya also confirmed Gopal Gurung and Thag Bahadur Thapa of leaving camp. “They are also in Damak”, said Acharya.

The group has warned those Bhutanese to leave the camps soon along with their families or to face severe physical actions. Leopard has accused them of leading the repatriation movement at the initial days and now becoming involved in pushing their relatives and family members to third countries.

However, According to Acharya, their family members are still in the camps and want immediate transfer to safe zone.

Katel is currently at the IOM transit centre in Kathmandu and will fly to USA within these few days.

Signed by ‘Chepyastra’– regional coordinator of the group, the warning letters are computer- print outs lacking letterheads.

    my opinion towards this party is extermely terrible one. in which they killed the poeple in the sake of money from bhutaness government. so this is my comment that. The police force of nepal could arrest those criminal guys who killed the innocent person and give the death sentence to the member of tiger, lion, snake ,cobra,cat,dog,rat,grasshopper, louse,bulldog etc those who can’t have any thinking capacity.

    having stayed for about 20years in refugee camps,we have maoved through thorns and needles, have tolerated the waves of natural calamities which have blown away hopes, aspirations,trust and truths. hopelessness and helplessness have supposed us to make the decissions which we feel better. the different underground parties are not doing the right thing because killing is not the ultimate solution. one by one the educated people in the camps are being killed. most of the educated people have move to the usa. i think there might be a very little population of literated and educated people in the camp if some have been left behind by chance.afterall who knows about Bhutan?this act of killing benefits only bhutan not the parties.if the steps have been taken with a view of taking revenge against the act of the third country settlement,and it not logical in terms of political issue and the party cannot be referred to as a party but the organisation of terrorism and there is no place in the world for terrorism to exist. finally i would like to suggest not to benefit Bhutan goverment through killing . if you are benefiting bhutan goverment because you get money, AND YOU ARE NOT DOING RIGHT,later you will be kicked and will not have place to live becareful and think about it with peace of mind.

    दशमीको पवन अबसरमा हजुरको संपूर्ण इच्छा मनोकामना पूरा हौन खुसियाली नै खुशियाली को बहार आइदिओस माता-दुर्गा भावानिले हजुरको कल्याण गरुन; सुख;शांति तथा संब्रिद्धि एवं उत्तोर-उत्तोर प्रगतिको हार्दिक मगल्मय सुभ-कमाना

    they r not the druk leopard but they r only the street dogs.They can do nothing but i know they can spoil their future and the future of their coming generations too.

  5. The bhutanese revolution was bad in past but now is very worse.We need to lead us by ourselves so, no one can have the danger of other.I came to know that bhutanese leader are good at giving the name to their party becoz their works r like the tiger,cats,lepord and all.They donot know patience,cooperation,trust and mutual understanding.They love money rather than their duties.they love luxuries rather than struggle.So, for this all they are killing other for their sake
