According to Kathmandu Post

"Rukum-based journalist Tika Bista was seriously injured in an attack by an unidentified group at Musikot on Tuesday. 

Bista was found unconscious with a severe head injury and cut wounds, apparently made by a razor blade, some 20 metres below a cliff.

Police recovered Bista’s laptop, radio and a mobile phone in wrecked state from the incident site.

Bista, a former district vice chairperson of Press Chautari Nepal, is a news coordinator for a local Sisne FM. "

Bista had been threatened by local Maoists for publishing a critical story. She has been admitted to a hospital in Kathmandu and the information minister has promised that the government will pay her medical bills.

It is important to note here that the Maoists signed a comprehensive peace agreement in 2006 and agreed to renounce violence and participate in Nepal's political process peacefully. But there have been a number of attacks against journalists and civil society leaders to show that the Maoists may not be serious about peace after all.
