The team asked them to show their pockets and bags. A soldier immediately showed a grenade which he concealed in the pocket of his shorts. After the team also asked him to show the concealed object in the next pocket, he went towards a group of armed security personnel and mingled among them.

Meanwhile, on April 11, Human Rights groups called on Royal regime to rein in the ongoing crackdown by the security forces and exercise restraint when dealing with anti-monarchy protesters. "Rather than justifying the use of excessive force, the government should be ensuring that the police and army act within the law to protect people's lives," said Purna Sen, Asia Pacific director of Amnesty International (AI) in a statement issued April 11. Sen said that restricting peaceful demonstrations by ban orders and curfews and arbitrarily arresting hundreds of people only "enflames an already volatile situation." Similarly, the Committee to Protect Journalists, a New York based press-freedom organization, deplored the use of force against journalists. "As the death toll in these protests rises, the presence of journalists is a crucial safeguard of accountability," said CPJ executive director Ann Cooper in a press statement issued in April 11. Scores of journalists have been arrested and beaten in the latest crackdown, the CPJ said. Reporters Without Borders, a French press-freedom group also urged the government to allow all journalists to move about freely and stop arresting them. The group also called on authorities to release the 20 journalists who are still in custody out of a total of 97 held.
The seven-party alliance (SPA), medical professionals and
employees at banks and the Nepal Telecom have vowed to continue with the ongoing
protests and disobedience campaign against the government. The Joint
People's Movement Coordination Committee of the seven-party alliance (SPA) said
on April that, despite the curfew and other restrictive and brutal measures
adopted by the government to suppress peaceful demonstrations, the movement
won't cease until achieving the declared goal. "The programs of the SPA
won't be affected by any kind of government repression and conspiracies," said a
statement issued by the Committee. "This movement won't cease until achieving
the declared goal." SPA has authorized their sister organizations and
local branches to announce additional agitation program to support the SPA's
movements for democracy.
Meanwhile, Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) declares the general political strike and mass demonstration as own program and the party has decided to conduct the concrete new programmes. The party also strongly support the decisions of seven political parties to continue with the general political strike advancing successfully towards rise all across the country until the autocratic monarchy has been brought to an end. "Along with aforesaid programs, mass mobilizations, meetings and demonstrations will be organized in local levels, jointly with seven political parties and civil societies as far as possible, and independently as required.

MILITARY HELICOPTER SMASHED
CAPTURED ANOTHER DISTRICT
HEADQUARTER
'In the history of Nepalese revolution, the people's liberation army has established a new record today, the April 6, on which day the historic mass movement of 1990 against monarchy had reached to its climax.' The masterstroke military strike on Malangwa (on April 6), district headquarters of Sarlahi has left dozens of Gyanendra's security personnel dead, nearly 3 dozens injured. One division of the PLA under the leadership of the Eastern Command of the Party has carried out a successful and courageous overnight attack in the headquarters. The military strike erupted as the PLA launched simultaneous attacks on all royal security installations and government offices in Malangwa, and the barracks of the RNA. The PLA launched the attack at around 9 pm and clashes between royal government forces and the PLA continued till around 3 am. In this attack all autocratic government's administration office were completely destroyed. Following the assault, the PLA has secured a huge amount of modern sophisticated weapons and other ammunition consisting of SLR, SMG, INSAS, LMG, 3-0-3 and other important logistics etc in its possession. The CDO and others were taken into custody of the PLA. 129 prisoners were set free from the district prisoner that includes at least 22 Maoist revolutionaries. Eight PLA combatants were, however, martyred in the process.
It should be
noted that an MI-17 Helicopter of the RNA that was crashed down some two kms

and soldiers . This is the first time that the PLA has shot down a fighter
helicopter. Comrade Prachanda, Chairman of CPN (M) and Supreme Commander of the
PLA issued a press statement and
said the chopper exploded in mid-air after the PLA attacked
it around 1:30 in the morning. Chairman Prachanda
declared it as the first revolutionary triumph against the enemy's aerial
attacks. He further said in a statement "A helicopter (M-17), to which
the revolutionary fighters had attacked when one of the divisions of the PLA

Press statement
In the history of Nepalese revolution, the people's liberation army has established a new record today, the April 6, on which day the historic mass movement of 1990 against monarchy had reached to its climax. A helicopter (M-17), to which the revolutionary fighters had attacked when one of the divisions of the PLA working under our party's Eastern Command in its way back after it had a courageous attack upon the district headquarters of Sarlahi district and had kept the security officials including the so-called CDO under its control, has been completely destroyed by exploding and blazing in the sky at about 1:30 in the this morning. The helicopter that had been blindly firing upon the masses in the name of actions against the people's liberation army was used at Thokarpa of Sindhupalchowk a few days back. In the morning, when the HQ of the so-called royal army was reported from their own communication set, it was said that the helicopter was damaged by the attack of the terrorists but now a Mandale design of uttering this incident of attack an accident has been made to maintain morale of the so-called royal army. The reality is that the people's liberation army, by using modern and domestic technology, has acquired first time a great victory against the so-called air attack of the enemy. Let it be remembered, a helicopter that had come to attack upon a mass meeting of thousands of people at Mainapokhari of Bardia yesterday was forced to have an emergency landing at the district headquarters after one of the contingents of the people's liberation army under Western Command attacked upon it. According to Western Command, the masses of the people had enthusiastically concluded the program after they came to take note of a helicopter fleeing away with smokes after the said attack.
On behalf of the party and the central headquarters of the people's liberation army, I heartily congratulate and thank the entire ranks of the people's army in general, and the Eastern Command and entire comrades and fighters of the division under it in particular, for the success achieved in this historic day and in the process of decisive struggle against the absolute monarchy.
This new victory upon the gangsters of autocracy achieved by the people's liberation army and the historic mass movement that has advanced ahead from the process of encircling and chasing hundreds of policemen by the people of Lalitpur in the valley will not come to a halt till a democratic new Nepal free of the feudal autocracy forever has been established. In this historic occasion, our party heartily appeals the entire masses of all class, nation, region and sex, including those of the valley, to keep on creating storm of movement till the process of establishing democratic republic through constituent assembly has been ascertained. Defeat of feudal autocracy and victory of the people is sure.
