17 December 2012. ‘The Resurrected’ a documentary on torture by Advocacy Forum (AF) has widely been covered by various international media, including the global news agency Agence France -Press (AFP) and Yahoo news, the internet-based news aggregator. Other international online news agencies like ‘France 24’, Lebanon-based news ‘The Daily Star’ Arab news, the Brunei Times etc. have covered the news of the documentary that have focused on the issues of serious human rights violation like torture in Nepal.
All of those news agencies have applauded the efforts of AF in bringing the problems of torture survivors in the forefront. Torture was common phenomenon during Nepal’s decade-long armed struggle and is also systematically practiced today, mostly in police detention centers.
The film and another one on enforced disappearance viz. ‘The Last Message’ whose production cost was about four hundred thousand-rupee (around 4000.00$)* were prepared by AF with the assistance of Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) and Asian Federation against Involuntary Disappearance (AFAD).
