Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 October 2019
Nepalese Lieutenant Colonel, Kumar Lama, was arrested in the United Kingdom (UK) on 3 January 2013. This was carried out on the basis of universal jurisdiction (UJ) for his alleged involvement in torture in Nepal back in 2005, during Nepal’s non-international armed conflict (NIAC). He was indicted for two counts of torture that allegedly took place in the Shivadal Battalion Army barrack, Gorusinghe, Kapilvastu District. Lama was the Battalion’s Commander in Chief when the torture took place. He was arrested on the basis of section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (CJA) that was enacted to fulfil the UK’s obligations under the United Nations (UN) Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhumane and Degrading Treatment (CAT).
