Tek Nath Sigdel and Guru Prasad Subedi were reportedly rearrested by security forces personnel outside the Nawalparasi prison, Nawalparasi district, on 4 September immediately after being released by the prison administration. Amnesty International is increasingly concerned for their safety as their current whereabouts are unknown. There are also concerns for the safety of Durga Datta Gautam who is feared "disappeared" following his reported arrest on 18 February.
