100th Day of Hunger Strike for a Mother Seeking Justice for her Child
GHRTV1
Ganga Maya's 18-year-old son, Krishna Prasad, was kidnapped and shot dead by the Maoist insurgents in Chitwan on the 6th of June 2004. Krishna Prasad was going to his maternal uncle's house in Chitwan from his hometown at Bhujel when he was abducted and killed. Since then, Ganga Maya and her husband Nanda Prasad had staged various protests stating that their son was innocent, and he was framed by some of their neighbors due to family rivalry. On the 22nd of September 2014, Nanda Prasad died during a similar hunger strike on the 334th day of the hunger strike.
After the death of Nanda Prasad, Ganga Maya has already staged three hunger strikes from Bir Hospital, the place where she has taken shelter for the last few years. Human Rights Activist Ganga Prasad Aryal, who has been urging the government to save the life of Ganga Maya, said that she is facing difficulty in speaking and moving her body parts as her health is deteriorating rapidly each day.
