Original Story The Kathmandu Post Kathmandu, Saturday January 04, 2003 Paush 20, 2059. Plight of prisoners Referring to your news report entitled "Thailand jails hold 39 Nepali prisoners" (December 26, 2002, TKP). Thank you very much for this story. I have written to these prisoners for more than two years. I fully agree that it is time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took action to complete the transfer treaty and bring them home. Most other countries bring their people home to an early parole. This can also happen for Nepal, and the parole doesn’t involve exorbitant costs or disruption.
