According to the information received, Dr. Chandra Kant Raut, the Central Coordinator of Alliance for Independent Madhesh, a non-governmental organization, was arrested without a warrant after delivering a speech on 13 September 2014 at a public meeting calling for a right to secession to be enshrined in Nepal’s new Constitution. He reportedly spent six days in police custody on charges related to the Public Offence Act before being presented to the Special Court. On three occasions, the Special Court extended Dr. Raut’s pre-trial detention, pending the hearing of his habeas corpus writ in front of the Supreme Court. It is reported that the habeas corpus hearing took place on 21 September 2014 and that the Supreme Court issued a show cause notice, requesting the Special Court to provide justification for Dr. Raut’s detention.
