Kathmandu (Pahichan) February 20 – In a depressing instance, transgender have been barred from entering in the premises of Kathmandu District Court. Chairman of Blue Diamond Society Pinki Gurung and Acting Director of Manisha Dhakal were denied to go inside Kathmandu district court. Both Gurung and Dhakal had gone there to participate in hearing of a case related to transgender in the court but security forces stopped them in the gate.<\/p>\n
Gurung informed that police officials citing the directives from above stopped them.\u00a0 \u201cThis is injustice to us. We have faced injustice in an institution which is responsible for providing justice to all,\u201d said Gurung. This is a first time that transgender have been denied access for the first time. Advocate Sujan Pant said it is defamation to transgenders to block them, and violation of human rights.<\/p>\n
Shree Prasad Sanjel, an official at Kathmandu District Court defended the court\u2019s decision saying that people not related to cases have been stopped. \u201cPolice officers might have stopped to avoid crowd in the court premises,\u201d Sanjel told Pahichan online. He said that third genders will not be stopped in gate in the coming days. \u201cI have talked with security persons and there will not obstacles to enter,\u201d said Sanjel.\u00a0 Chairman Gurung, however, said that court has stopped him with ill-intention.\u00a0 Blue Diamond \u00a0Society is working in the welfare of homosexuals, and transgenders ensuring their human rights, legal rights, education, health and employment.<\/p>\n
