Outrage as Nepal paper fires 45 journalists

The Federation of Nepalese Journalists (FNJ) has condemned the sacking of 45 journalists from Gorkhapatra, a state-owned national daily, and has demanded their immediate reinstatement. According to the FNJ, the journalists were fired because the paper's management wish to recruit new staff in order to be "inclusive". This is believed to mean that they will be replaced by journalists favourable to Maoists, one of whom who now runs the ministry of information and communication. (Via Asia Media)
