Kathmandu, March 27 : Three youths who were jailed for raising slogans against Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal have been released. They were sent to jail after not posting the bail in the case of indecent behavior, but they were released on Tuesday after posting the bail.
On March 7th, while participating in the 58th International Racial Discrimination Eradication Public Program held at Thapagaon in Baneshwar, three people were arrested and charged for raising slogans against Prime Minister Prachanda.
