Finally, justice? After nearly a year of relentless legal battles, the Press Council of Nepal has blacklisted The Himalayan Times for baseless news. While this is a step forward, the journey has been incredibly taxing. I welcome this judgement, which comes after more than 17 articles of misinformation were published where my team were never given a right of reply. The Nepal Press Council launched an investigation into this campaign of fake news last autumn and their judgement as of this week is to black list The Himalayan Times and to remove Government funded advertising. This is a significant and important judgement. I thank the Press Council for looking into this so throughly. Fake news has deeply affected my life, my family, and my business. Justice is a complex concept, especially when the damage has already been done. Misinformation can lead to tragic consequences, even costing innocent lives, yet it appears that media outlets face no real accountability. If murder has consequences, why doesn’t character assassination? These stories were published alongside a damaging piece in the New York Times. For those who don’t know the full story, I have given an in-depth interview with an investigative journalist, and I encourage you to listen to the podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/44cixpaHPD75rQ3o0f4k5h?si=5239f2a37fec4079 There should be accountability in journalism. Free speech should not mean free rein to destroy lives. Let’s stand up for truth and integrity in media. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to those who have loved and supported me through this journey. As a man of integrity, shaped by my heritage and the UK special forces, my values remain unshaken. Your support means everything.
