Human rights groups in Nepal have appealed to the international community to press the authorities to reverse harsh emergency measures.
They say the government headed by King Gyanendra who has taken direct power is spreading terror and panic.
The king sacked the government on Tuesday, saying it had failed to tackle the Maoist rebel uprising.
Journalists as well as political figures have been detained following the introduction of emergency measures.
