DAILEKH-After the women of Salleri and Nyauli in Dailekh rose up against the Maoists last November many from those villages fled to the district headquarters fearing rebel reprisals. Six Maoists had been killed in the resistance. Tulsi Singh and Jamuna Basnet of Nyauli had returned to their villages. The Maoists abducted Tulsi and Jamuna last month and despite Tulsi being pregnant, they beat her up and forced her to carry heavy loads of weapons. Jamuna was accused of leading the anti-Maoist resistance and was also beaten up and tortured after her abduction. Jamuna's five-year-old son and three-year-old daughter want to know when their mother is coming back. Relatives say eye witnesses told them the two were being tortured in detention.
