In 2015 and 2016, the organization extensively monitored, investigated and documented the constitution related protests[5] in Nepal.[6] The Kathmandu Post cites in THRD Alliance in this news story:[7] "National rights organisations, except Tarai Human Rights Defenders Alliance (THRD Alliance), have not report on protests in the southern plains of the country."
Human rights issues identified by THRD Alliance include:
- Resistance Continues over Nepal Constitution[8]
- Nepal: Flood menace in Nepal's Terai [9]
- Nepal Govt. ensures relief and recovery aid to flood-hit tenant farmers through petition launched by THRD Alliancel[10][11]
- Monitoring Excessive use of Force by the State in Nepal[12]
- Nepal Government needs to ensure fair trial in Mahottari[13]

While not investigating the two incidents in Tikapur (Kailali) and Bhagawanpur (Mahottari) in which protestors were responsible for the killing of eight police and one APF officer, the AHRC and THRD Alliance condemn these killings in the strongest terms. Based on the findings of their investigation, the rights organizations demanded an independent investigations, prosecutions, and reparation in the cases by both side and measures as required by law. The report has been submitted to United Nations Human Rights Council.[14][15]
