At least 19 people were killed and over 347 injured on Monday after police opened fire on protesters in Nepal, where a youth-led movement has erupted against corruption and a government-imposed social media ban. The protests, spearheaded by “Generation Z,” began outside the Parliament building in Kathmandu before spreading across major cities. Despite a curfew imposed from 3:30 p.m., demonstrations continued, prompting security forces to use water cannons, tear gas, and live ammunition. In Jhapa district, protesters hurled bricks at Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli’s residence in Damak, forcing police to disperse them with warning shots. The National Human Rights Commission has urged restraint from both sides as military and police units were deployed to safeguard key locations. Hospitals across Nepal are overwhelmed as hundreds of injured were rushed in simultaneously, adding strain to already limited healthcare services.
