Krishna Sen

Krishna Sen (Ichhuk) (19 October 1956 – 27 May 2002) was a writer and journalist of Nepal.

Sen was the editor of Janadesh, a pro-Maoist vernacular weekly newspaper. He was arrested by police on May 20, 2002, under the provisions of a sweeping anti-terrorism ordinance introduced in November 2001 that criminalized any contact with or support for Maoist rebels. He was reportedly detained incommunicado at an unknown location following his arrest and subjected to torture, which reportedly led to his death while in detention. He was killed in police custody during the Maoist insurgency in Nepal. Local human rights group Informal Sector Service Center (INSEC) has reported that Sen was held for approximately one week and died after being tortured at the Mahendra Police Club in Kathmandu. His body has never been found.

Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) has established its online news portal in memory of Krishna Sen as Krishnasen Online. Provided by Wikipedia
