BBC NEWS | South Asia | Maoists in south Nepal gun battle: "At least 25 people have died in a gun battle between former Maoist rebels and supporters of a regional rights group in southern Nepal, police say. More than 30 others were wounded in the fighting in and around the town of Gaur. Maoists and protesters seeking more rights for the Madheshi people in the south have spent months at loggerheads.
A spokesman for the Madheshi Janadhikar Forum (MJF), one of the groups campaigning for greater rights for people in the south, told the BBC that up to 50 people had been killed in clashes in the area."
