We requested the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB) to respond to the following questions with regards to the Tamakoshi-Kathmandu Transmission line project:

1. How does AIIB plan to address allegations of forced land acquisition and inadequate compensation for affected communities, particularly Indigenous Tamang populations, which reportedly violate international standards such as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)?
2. What is AIIB’s response to reports of state-sponsored violence, including arbitrary arrests, intimidation, and injuries to peaceful protesters opposing the project, and how does it align with AIIB’s commitment to upholding human rights in its funded projects?
3. What specific measures has AIIB implemented to ensure that the environmental and social impacts of the Tamakoshi-Kathmandu Transmission Line Project are thoroughly assessed and mitigated, given the allegations of negligence in these areas?

AIIB did not respond
