  • 46. Geeta Thapa Magar
  • Nineteen-year-old Geeta Thapa Magar, a grade ten student, was arrested on January 1, 1999 (Poush 17, 2055), by Nepali security forces while seeking medical attention for a fever at the Appipal Hospital in Chaprak VDC, Gorkha district. She was a member of a low-level CPN-M cadre at the time, having joined CPN-M in January – February, 1998 (Magh 2054). A second CPN-M member escaped during the arrest operation and informed the family that Magar had been detained.
  • After learning of her arrest, her relatives filed a habeas corpus petition in the Pokhara Supreme Court in February-March, 1999 (Falgun 2055).
