in shootings. The bombs went off near the Ministry of Health, a
university and other parts of the city.

Earlier Monday, the trial of Saddam Hussein and seven co-defendants

*联合国说尼泊尔必须取消就地开枪令

联合国人权专家菲力普.阿尔斯通说，尼泊尔必须立即取消执行戒严的“就地开枪
”政策，因为其目标是无辜民众并违反国际法。阿尔斯通说，有系统地针对无辜
民众的攻击行为被视为反人类罪行。尼泊尔警方过去19天来与民主示威者发生冲
突。示威者要求国王贾南德拉放弃14个多月前攫取的绝对权力。政府官员星期一
开始在首都加德满都实施五天戒严。安全部队接到命令，可以对任何进入戒严区
的人开枪。

UN Says Nepal Must Repeal Shoot-on-Sight Orders

U.N. human rights expert Philip Alston says Nepal must immediately
repeal a curfew-enforcing "shoot-on-sight" policy because it targets
innocent people and violates international law. Alston says systematic
attacks against innocent people are considered a crime against humanity.
For 19 days, Nepalese police have clashed with pro-democracy
demonstrators demanding King Gyanendra relinquish the absolute power he
seized more than 14 months ago. On Monday, officials placed the capital,
Kathmandu, under curfew for a fifth day. Security forces have orders to
shoot anyone trying to enter the curfew zone.
