Aha! It’s sad to read such experience but journalist Nagendra Upadhyay’s writing in BloggerNepal after being freed from 166 days of prison reflect how difficult the condition is for the journalists outside Kathmandu. Upadhyay recalled how the Maoists forced him to accompany them in the ambulance to the hospital and how the security system in the country reacted after knowing that he accompanied them.
