Gen Z in Nepal on Monday (September 8) is leading a large protest against the
corruption in the government of KP Sharma Oli and a recent decision to restrict social media. The issue started as an online movement but later escalated and turned into street protests. The protest has been termed as “Gen Z Revolution” due to the involvement of thousands of young people and students. The Nepalese government issued shoot-to-kill orders as the protesters set the Parliament building gate ablaze.
So far, at least 18 people have died and over 250 have been injured in the protest.
Human rights activists have condemned the use of lethal force during the protest in Nepal, describing it as “reprehensible.”
PM KP Sharma Oli defends govt’s decision
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli defended the government’s decision, saying that any attempt to weaken the nation would not be tolerated. Speaking at a Communist Party convention, Oli emphasised that the government would always oppose actions that harm the country’s sovereignty. He also argued that national security is more important than the loss of jobs for individuals.
