KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A top United Nations envoy urged Nepal's Maoist-led government and its former rebel army to release thousands of former child soldiers still languishing in Maoist camps.

The world body estimated last year that there were nearly 3,000 "Maoist army members less than 18 years of age" in U.N. supervised rehabilitation camps for ex-rebels. http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKDEL16327320080826
