Disturbing news emerges from Kathmandu as widespread protests against a social media clampdown have escalated, leading to at least 20 confirmed deaths and over 250 injuries. The army has been deployed across Nepal’s 77 districts as the situation remains extremely grim. Young people, including students, are on the streets of Kathmandu, protesting the ban on 26 social media networks, which they claim impacts their livelihoods and free speech. Protesters are linking the government’s actions to alleged corruption and incompetence, with a clear message: ‘ban corruption and not social media.’ Curfews have been imposed in several cities, and reports indicate police resorting to lathi-charge and tear gas. The protests, initially peaceful, have turned violent, with no clear organization spearheading the movement, posing a challenge for potential government negotiations. #nepalprotests #socialmediaban #youthprotest #itwebvideos #kathmandu #genz #corruption #freespeech #policefiring #armydeployed #nepalcrisis #streetprotests #curfew #violence #studentprotest #governmentaccountability #livelihoods #digitalrights #nepalnews #humanrights #politicalunrest #emergency #teargas #lathicharge #nepalpolitics #protestmovement
