Nepal colonel in UK court over torture

A COLONEL in Nepal's army will stand trial in Britain in June on charges of torture allegedly committed during the Himalayan nation's civil war.

Colonel Kuma Lama appeared by video link from prison for a London court hearing on Thursday. The judge set a provisional trial date of June 5.

Lama, who lives in England, was denied bail.

He was arrested by British police earlier this month and charged with two counts of intentionally "inflicting severe pain or suffering" on two individuals.

Police say the charges relate to incidents that allegedly occurred between April and October 2005 at the Gorusinghe Army Barracks in Nepal.

Thousands of people died and thousands were injured or tortured during Nepal's decade-long civil war, which ended in 2006.
