AP - Sun Oct 2,11:38 AM ET Senior Maoist leaders Suresh Ale Magar, left, and Matrika Prasad Yadav, right, come out from a court at Patan, on the outskirts of Katmandu, Nepal, Sunday, Oct. 2, 2005. A court in Nepal began taking a statement from Yadav on Sunday, 20 months after he was arrested and held in isolation. The government, under pressure from the courts and rights activists, allowed the men to appear before the Lalitpur Appellate Court. Yadav is considered one of the top leaders of the Maoist rebels, who have been fighting since 1996 for a communist state.
