True to expectations, New Delhi has stepped in to prevent the proposed peace March to Thimpu by 150 or so volunteers of Bhutanese refugee camp in eastern Nepali scheduled to commence on January 14 from the eastern Nepal-India border.

That turn of events comes on the heels of the sixth appeal to King Jigme of Bhutan by the Appeal Movement Coordinating Council (AMCC) of Bhutan to released Tek Nath Rizal, founding father of the Bhutanese human rights movement, and to resolve both the human rights problem in Bhutan as well as the Bhutanese refugee crisis through a process of National reconciliation, as first articulated by the AMCC on September 7, 1995.
