(Kathmandu, Nepal) - Two young women were "jailed" by Maoist guerrillas in southern Nepal for being lesbians, Nepal's sole gay rights group has said. Dukhani Choudhary, 16, and Sarita Choudhury, 20, were "arrested" in Pakali village in Sunsari district on March 2 after the Maoists, who do not condone same sex relationships, came to know the two were lesbians. The two were going to the office of an NGO working in the HIV/AIDS sector in Itahari to take part in Holi when they were detained by the Maoists and forced to go to the rebel camp in Singiya village for questioning.
