This report looks at the effects of these policies and examines how the Sri Lankan governmentâ™s policies continue to violate the Constitution as well as several international human rights instruments.

These were later followed by a crackdown on Nepali protests leading to the flight of nearly 90,000 Nepalese to Nepal who Bhutan refuses to take back.

This report details the repressive policies of the Bhutanese government and also examines the process and possibilities of the repatriation of the ethnic Nepalis.
