The current governments decision to classify information is odious indeed. The FDJ is quite right to have program of protests against this decision. If the government had been stronger and more organized it is sure that we would have seen more of the same tendencies come to the for. That is so very sad. Must the choice always be between the status-quo and those who would curtail our civil freedoms and liberty? It seems that in Nepal there are no reasonable parties who would empower the poor people and take away the spoils and richs from those who have stolen them. This is sad in the extreme.
