		The move was justified on the tenuous grounds that the Prime Minister failed to secure a dialogue with the country’s powerful Maoist insurgents, as well as on his apparent inability to organize elections – goals that would have been impossible for any Nepalese government official to secure under present circumstances.
		To solidify his control in Kathmandu, King Gyanendra placed political party leaders under house arrest, key constitutional rights were suspended, the army was deployed to enforce censorship of the media, and communications were cut.
		This hearing will examine the implications for Nepal of the “royal coup,” prospects for the re-establishment of constitutional rule, including restoration of all suspended freedoms, and options for U.S. policy.
