Kathmandu - Bhutanese refugees living in camps in eastern Nepal said they were closely following the coronation of Bhutan's new king even though they held out no hope of returning to their homeland, Nepalese media reports said Friday.
As Bhutan celebrated Thursday's coronation of 28-year-old Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk, thousands of refugees said there was little reason to cheer, the Kathmandu Post newspaper reported.
"There is no happiness in the refugee camp as the new king ascends the throne," said SB Subba, chairman of the Human Rights Organization of Bhutan. "It is meaningless for the people in refugee camps as the monarchy is the sole cause of our suffering."
